Da Strobel - Cima Falzarego

Access to starting point:
A) Access from Gorenjska: Through the border crossing at Rateče or Predel to Trbiž / Tarvisio and then on the highway in the direction of Vidma / Udine to the Tolmezzo exit. From Tolmezzo we follow the road in the direction of the village Ampezzo and mountain pass Passo della Mauria. The road then descends and brings us to a crossroad, where we continue left (also right possible) in the direction of Cortina d'Ampezzo. At all following crossroads, we follow the signs for Cortina d'Ampezzo.
In Cortina d'Ampezzo then we follow the signs for the alpine pass Passo di Falzarego. A few hundred meters before the pass, we park on the parking lot by the restaurant Ristorante Grill da Strobel. Nearby is also the mountain hut Rifugio Col Gallina.
B) From Primorska: We drive on the highway towards Venice / Venezia. At the town Portogruaro we leave the highway towards Venice and continue right on the highway towards Pordenone. At the next highway junction near Conegliano, we continue right towards Belluno. Near Belluno the highway ends, and at the next crossroads we continue in the direction of Cortina d'Ampezzo. Further, we follow the above description.

Path description:
We head to the larger parking lot by the restaurant Ristorante Grill da Strobel and at the end of the parking lot we will notice signposts that direct us to the footpath. The path soon crosses a smaller bridge and then starts to ascend through the dwarf pines. Nice views also start opening up on the mountains south of the Falzarego pass. After the ascent through the dwarf pines, the path brings us to a junction where the path from the mentioned pass joins from the left side.
We continue right on the military mule track, which leads us past the ruins of the military hospital from the time of the First World War. From the ruins we continue along the mule track for a few tens of meters, then a little before the signposts for the secured path „Ferrata degli Alpini“ we continue left onto an unmarked path.
The unmarked path runs somewhat to the left of the mentioned secured path. From the junction we ascend towards the northeast and the path soon brings us into the steep valley on the west side of the mountain Col dei Bos. After crossing somewhat steeper slopes we also cross a smaller stream, then for quite some time we steeply ascend up the valley. Since there is quite a lot of scree on the path, some caution is needed at a few spots. During the ascent we have a nice view towards the mountains south of the Falzarego pass and on the walls of the nearby peaks; in the wall of the peak Col dei Bos the secured climbing path is also clearly visible. We continue ascending up the steep valley all the way to the saddle between the peaks Col dei Bos and Cima Falzarego.
On the saddle, where there is an unmarked junction, we continue left towards the summit Cima Falzarego. To the right the path leads towards the summit Col dei Bos; if we continue straight ahead, we join the marked path towards the hut Rifugio Lagazuoi. From the saddle, therefore, we continue left and start to ascend the increasingly panoramic slope. The trail fades in the final part of the ascent, but we continue over mostly grassy terrain to the summit, on which there is a small cross.
We descend by the ascent path or continue towards the north, where we soon join the marked path towards the hut Rifugio Lagazuoi.

On the way: Ospedaletti (2160m)

Trip can be extended to: Col dei Bos
