B) First, we drive to Bovec, and then we continue driving towards the border crossing Predel, over which we drive in Italy. Next follows a descent to the lake Rabeljsko jezero, after which we leave the main road which leads towards Trbiž and we continue driving left in the direction of Nevejski preval (V Žlebeh). The road then again starts ascending, and we follow it to the already mentioned saddle. We park on a large parking lot by the bottom station of the cable car, which runs towards the mountain hut Rifugio Gilberti.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a narrow asphalt road which leads us by the hotel Nevea. After approximately 100 meters of walking, we get to a signpost for path number 636, which points us left through a meadow on a marked footpath. The path soon leads in the forest, through which we are further ascending on an old military mule track. Higher the forest is becoming thinner, and the path with more frequent nice views brings us to the ruins of barracks Poviz.
The path ahead is for some time still ascending, and then it brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of the mountain hut Rifugio Gilberti (left saddle Prevala, saddle Vrh Laških brežičev / Sella Robon, Speleološki bivak and Velika Bavha). From the crossing ahead, the path entirely flattens and continues towards the west. Panoramic slopes we cross approximately 20 minutes, and then the path brings us to ski tracks of the ski slope Sella Nevea. At the same time, when we step on a ski slope, we step also on a transport road which we then follow past the chapel to the mountain hut Rifugio Gilberti, which we reach after few minutes of additional walking.
