Da Strobel - Col dei Bos

Access to starting point:
A) Access from Gorenjska: Through the border crossings 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 the mountain pass Passo della Mauria. The road then descends and brings us to a crossroads, where we continue left (possible also right) in the direction of Cortina d'Ampezzo. At all next crossroads, we follow the signs for Cortina d'Ampezzo.
In Cortina d'Ampezzo we then follow the signs for the alpine pass Passo di Falzarego. Several hundred meters before the pass, we park on the parking lot next to the restaurant Ristorante Grill da Strobel. Nearby is also the mountain hut Rifugio Col Gallina.
B) From the Primorska side: We drive on the highway towards Venice / Venezia. At 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 next to 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 small bridge and then begins to ascend through the dwarf pines. Nice views of the mountains south of Falzarego Pass also start to open up. 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.
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 some 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 cross a small 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 places. During the ascent we have nice views towards the mountains south of Falzarego Pass and the walls of nearby peaks; in the walls 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 on the west side of the peak Col dei Bos.
On the saddle where there is an unmarked junction we continue right towards the summit Col dei Bos, which we already see in front of us. Left leads the path to the summit Cima Falzarego, if we continue straight we join the marked path to the hut Rifugio Lagazuoi. From the saddle therefore we continue right on the trail, which brings us to the north side of the peak. Here the path turns right and on the not too steep summit slope of the mountain we soon reach the panoramic summit.
