Access to starting point:
From Trbiž/Tarvisio we go on the highway towards Videm/Udine. At the settlement Carnico, we leave the highway and at first, we follow the signs towards the settlement Tolmezzo, and then signs for Austria and mountain pass Pso di Croce Carnico / Plöckenpass. On Italian side of the mountain pass, we park on a large parking lot.
Path description:
At the parking lot, we go on a narrow road following the signs Cellon (path 146). Already after few ten meters, we come to a crossroad where we go right on a military mule track on which we are then ascending through a thin forest and meadows below the steep slopes of the mountain Cellon. Military mule track passes into a footpath and we quickly also come to the crossroad, where we leave the path towards the mountain hut Marinelli and we go right upwards. Here the path starts a little steeper ascending on grassy slopes and then brings us to a crossing. We go left following the signs “Cellon”, and right lead more demanding path on same mountain.
The path further for quite some time in ascent crosses grassy slopes towards the west, and then starts ascending in zig-zags. Such a path then brings us to a crossing, where sign on the rock points us on the right lower path, and left upwards leads the path towards Cresta Verde. After that, the path long time crosses steeper and steeper slopes towards the east and then brings us to a crossing, where from the right side join other two paths on the mountain. Here we will by the path also notice a lot of remains from the first world war. Further follows only an ascent on a little less steep slope of the mountain to the top.
