Monte Cretis is a scenic peak of the mid-mountain near Tolmezzo and as such a welcome goal when higher neighbors are snow-covered. Unfortunately it wasn't so this time. Recent stormy weather felled trees here like dominoes and covered the path with huge amounts of fallen trees. We had to significantly shorten our extensive plan because of that. Still we were glad to somehow make our way back to the starting point nasmeh

Due to current conditions in these areas I don't recommend the trail. Probably it will take some years before everything gets sorted.

Starting point Vila Santina .... 46°24"45.1'N / 12°56"12.7'E
