In Chiusaforte I drive to Via Romana No. 52 where path 425 starts, but since there are no parking spots there I drive back a bit, parking near the church. Then I go to the mentioned starting point and between the houses above the town, I cross the newly arranged cycle path and after about 10 minutes, instead of the comfortable path I choose the right variant towards Raunis, there's a chapel there, I quickly find the continuation of the path/trail (marked mostly with orange circles, old red dots also visible) along which I quickly ascend to a place where there's a cairn on the rock, there I turn left and initially ascend gently, when I reach a larger flat area I go directly along the southern side to the top of Jof di Chiusaforte (1295 m). There the summit part of Plananizza appears on the opposite side. A short descent follows, still along orange marks to the Patok saddle, path 426 also leads there from the valley. Some tens of m west of the saddle are the first signs for Monte Plananizza, the path is marked although on my Tabacco map only black dashed lines. The comfortable wide mulatjera path crosses the entire southern slope of Plananizza, when it reaches a kind of ridge it turns right to the western side. Soon I'm at the junction for Plananizza, further the mulatjera leads to some alpine pasture which is also the Agar da lis Tais saddle (very strange name). From the junction to the top initially quite good trail, marked with red daubs on trees, higher through scrub which was cut years ago but it gets tighter, yet still acceptable. At the top (1554 m) antennas, containers, towers, in short like a magpie's nest, but the view more than wonderful. Since it was blowing annoyingly, I didn't stay long at the top and descended to the nice mulatjera. Here I recommend descent via path 426 back to Patok saddle and to the valley. Well for me it wasn't time to go down yet so along the almost completely flat mulatjera I went to the place with the strange name. There I found an unmarked trail to the eastern side towards Rio Molino, nice unmarked trail (on the map it has no. 427 and is indicated as marked) brought me almost to Costamolino, if I hadn't turned sharply right earlier to path 426, which quickly turned out to be actually closed due to several huge landslides. Well over it went quite nicely anyway, only almost 300 m of elevation was completely unnecessary and so soon I find myself again at Patok saddle, then finally via path 426, which I recommended earlier, to the valley. From Costamolino I could have gone to the valley too, but then another km on asphalt to Chiusaforte. For this end there's quite some confusion, paths not marked are shown as marked on the map, some unmarked on map are nicely marked, path obviously closed for years is marked closed only near the landslide. Numbers are also mixed up a bit, which I noticed already on ascent to Montusel years ago. Despite everything nice and solitary.
