Access to starting point:
From Trbiž/Tarvisio we go on the highway towards Videm/Udine. We leave the highway at exit for Tolmezzo. At Tolmezzo we then also leave the road which runs towards the mountain pass Passo di Croce Carnico / Plöckenpass and go towards Villa Santina. In Villa Santina at the roundabout, we go straight following the signs Ovaro, Sappada. We follow this road all the way to Forni Avoltri, where we turn right following the signs Collina. We then follow the asphalt road all the way to the parking lot before the mountain hut Tolazzi.
Path description:
From the parking lot at the mountain hut Tolazzi we continue on the road following the signs Rifugio Marinelli. After a short ascent, we come to a crossroad, where the path towards the mountain hut Lambertenghi-Romanin branches off to the left. We continue on the mountain road, and then in a sharp left turn we leave the road and we continue on a cart track which soon passes into a footpath. Next follows an ascent through the forest by the stream Morareto, and then we again join the mountain road which we follow all the way to Casera Morareet, where there is also a marked crossing. Here we leave the mountain road and go right (towards the east) and we start ascending on grassy slopes with a nice view towards the nearby peaks. After that, the path turns slightly to the left and then follows a little steeper ascent towards the mountain hut Marinelli.
At the mountain hut, we follow the signs Monte Coglians and start ascending through steep meadows. After that, the path turns a little to the left, where we come on short slightly exposed ridge into an entirely new world. Mighty slopes covered with grass instantly changes to bare rock. While crossing the slopes below Coglians we come again to a crossroad, where we go left (path 143), right path (143a) runs on Pilastro del Coglians (2750m). At first, we still cross slopes below Coglians, and then the path turns a little to the right and from the left side joins the path from the lake Wolayer See. Here we start ascending on a little slippery scree, which in the upper part becomes already quite steep. In the last part, the path turns to the left and then follows a steep ascent with some easy climbing towards a very scenic summit.
