Zajzera - Rifugio Pellarini

Access to starting point:
Over the border crossing Predel or Rateče we drive to Trbiž / Tarvisio. Further, we drive on the old road towards Videm / Udine. Already after few kilometers from Trbiž / Tarvisio, the road into Ovčja vas / Valbruna branches off to the left. In Ovča vas / Valbruna we turn left and follow the road ahead through the valley Zajzera upwards. After few kilometers of driving, we come to a crossroad at the bridge above the road (at the second bridge). Here we turn left in the direction of marks for Svete Višarje / Monte Lussari and then already after few meters of driving, we turn right on a large parking lot where we park.

Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, we go on a cart track which after few ten meters joins the road. We continue left over a bridge and we follow the road to a crossroad where we go right following the signs »616 Rifugio Pellarini«. For some time we then walk by the river and we soon join mountain road. We continue left on the mountain road on which we are then long time ascending. All the time of walking on the road we follow the signs for path 616 and mountain hut Rifugio Pellarini.
At approximately half of an ascent on the road very demanding path on Mali Nabojs (Piccolo Nabois) branches off to the right. We continue on the road all the way to the end, where there is a bottom station of a cargo cableway. We continue slightly right on a cart track which quickly passes into a footpath. The path then turns to the left and starts ascending on a little steeper slope below the cableway. We are ascending mostly through the forest towards the east, occasionally also a nice view opens up on surrounding peaks. Such a path brings us to a marked crossing where we continue right following the signs Rif. Pellarini (20 min), left leads the path 617 on Svete Višarje (4 hours).
The path further soon brings us out of the forest on the scree from where a very nice view opens up towards Viš. Here the path turns to the right and follows the last ascent to the hut Pellarini.
