Access to starting point:
Over the border crossing Rateče we drive to Trbiž / Tarvisio, where we go on a highway in the direction of Videm / Udine. We leave the highway at exit Tolmezzo and we follow the road to the mentioned settlement. From Tolmezzo we continue in the direction of the settlement Ampezzo and mountain pass Passo della Mauria. The road then starts descending and brings us into a valley Cadore, where we continue right (left Belluno and Cortina d'Ampezzo) in the direction of the settlement Auronzo. After few additional km of driving, we come to the next bigger crossroad, where we go right in the direction of the settlement Misurina (left mountain pass Tre Croci). From here we descend on the road to a bigger crossroad where we continue left towards Cortina d'Ampezzo (right Austria). Few kilometers before Cortina d'Ampezzo we then park on a large parking lot by the hotel Fiames. The parking lot is on the right side of the road, and on the left side we will notice stadium.
Path description:
From the parking lot at hotel Fiames we continue by the main road or on a footpath by the river Boite in the direction of Cortina d'Ampezzo. After few hundred metrers, we then go right over a bridge to camp Olympia. Here signposts point us to the right on the path 408, which then leads on a macadam path by the camp. From the path few times a view opens up on the nearby Punta Fiammes and through a valley of river Boite, then path slightly descends and it brings us to a marked crossing.
At the crossing, the path branches off to the left towards the saddle Posporcora and climbing path on Col Rosa. We still continue on a gentle macadam path towards the north and after 15 minutes of walking, the path again brings us to a crossing on which and we go left on the path 447 following the signs »Col Rosa«.
The path here starts ascending and at first runs through the forest by landslide. Later, the path turns a little to the right and it ascends on a little steeper and slightly crumbly slope by wide gully. The path is here well-settled so ascent doesn't cause bigger problems. The further path is for quite some time ascending through the forest. Higher, the path turns a little to the left and it brings us out of the forest on a slope, which is mostly vegetated with dwarf pines. From the path increasingly beautiful views starting to open up, and by the path, we will also notice numerous military tunnels and caverns.
In the last part, the path runs on gentle northern slope of the mountain. Higher dwarf pines is becoming rarer and a little below the summit from the right side joins also the climbing path. From here only a short ascent follows to the top.
On the way: Olympia (1290m)
