Sella Nevea - Monte Robon (via 637)

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora over the border crossing Rateče we drive to Trbiž / Tarvisio. In Trbiž we continue left in the direction of Bovec and we follow the road to the crossroad near the lake Rabeljsko jezero. Here we continue right in the direction of Nevejski preval / Sella Nevea. Further, we drive on an ascending road which higher makes few hairpin turns, after that only few 10 meters before the road starts barely noticeably descending, on the left side we notice a bad forest road which from the main road branches off sharply to the left (by the crossroad is located traffic sign and next to it rock with blazes - beginning of our path). Because by the crossroad there aren't any appropriate parking spots, we drive a good 100 meters ahead and then we park on an appropriate place by the road.
From Bovec, we drive to the border crossing Predel, from which we descend to italian side. Only a little after the lake Rabeljsko jezero we come to the crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Nevejski preval / Sella Nevea. Further, we follow the description above.

Path description:
From the starting point, we return a little back, and then we go on a footpath number 637, which at first runs on a worse forest road. After few minutes of easy walking, blazes point us to the right on a footpath which with the help of numerous smaller stairs starts ascending steeply. A little higher a nice view opens up on surrounding peaks, and the path flattens and returns into the forest. The path ahead in a moderate ascent (meanwhile few times also slightly descends) crosses slopes towards the left and then for a short time ascends a little steeper and from the steep slopes brings us on for some time more plain terrain. The increasingly panoramic path which runs on an old military mule track, then leads us over a series of short valleys, crossings and few shorter descents. The mentioned path after a time brings us by the foot of steep, smooth and on some spots even overhang western walls of Velika Bavha. Just by the foot of the walls marked path turns to the right and then it ascends diagonally over shorter scree. Only a little further, the path turns a little more to the right, where after a short crossing brings us by the edge of a torrent gully. Here we turn sharply left and by the edge of a torrent we ascend to its mouth. Here through some sort of natural door we enter into beautiful high mountain cirque, where the path entirely flattens, and if we will quiet we can also notice numerous marmots.
Through the mentioned cirque we walk slightly towards the left and then we join the path from the mountain hut Rifugio Gilberti. We follow the mentioned path to the left, and in few hairpin turns it brings us on a panoramic saddle Vrh Laških brežičev (in Italian Sella Robon), where there stands an information board and next to it table with two benches.
On the saddle, we continue left (straight Jerebica 6 hours) and we continue the ascent on easy to follow, but further unmarked path. The path ahead ascends diagonally on a quite steep slope, and then it flattens and it brings us to numerous military fortresses. Mentioned fort we bypass on the left side on a wide carved ledge, after that only a short ascent follows and the path brings us to caving bivouac Modonutti - Savoia.
From the bivouac, we continue left, on at first still easy to follow path, which soon crosses a short exposed ledge, and then turns to the right and very steeply ascends through smaller notch, where we get help from rocky stairs. Higher, the path flattens and starts vanishing among numerous limestone pavements and abysses, but because numerous cairns show further path, orientation at least in nice weather isn't difficult. Higher, the path starts turning a little more to the right and then leads us past numerous abysses. A little below the summit, we come to mighty abyss, by the edge of which leads on short part damaged path. Here instead of crossing exposed passage over rotten wood, it is much safer, that on the right side we climb a solid rock, or in the lower part we crawl through it. When we step on the other side of the mentioned passage, the path flattens and past another exposed, but wide ledge quickly brings us on a panoramic peak.
