Access to starting point:
Over a border crossing in Rateče we drive through Trbiž / Tarvisio, Ukve / Ugovizzo to the settlement Tablja / Pontebba, where we turn right following the signs »Passo di Pramollo / Nassfeld« (Slovenian Mokrine). On the mountain pass, we drive past the lake on the Austrian side, where we park on a large parking lot.
Path description:
From the parking lot on the mountain pass Mokrine / Nassfeld we go on a macadam road following the signs Rosskofel and Trogkofel. After few hundred metrers, we leave the road and blazes lead left on a footpath which runs through meadows and past the artificial lake intended for snowmaking. After that, the path runs through a thin forest and several times crosses a ski slope and numerous smaller streams. We soon come to a crossroad, where signs point us to the left on the path which runs by the ski slope, a little steeper ascends and in 15 minutes brings us to the road at the cottage on Tressdorfer hohe.
At the crossroad, which is approximately a hundred meters from the mountain hut and from where there is a nice view towards our destination Veliki Koritnik / Creta di Aip / Trogkofel, we go on the right road which is descending a little. At the right turn, we leave the road and again go on a footpath. The path through a thin forest is still descending and past numerous streams we come to a crossroad, where we go left following the signs Sella di Aip / Rudnig sattel. The path is then ascending below the slopes of Konjski Špik / Creta di Aip / Rosskofel and in good half an hour it brings us to a saddle Sella di Aip / Rudnig sattel, from where there is a nice view towards Veliki Koritnik and bivouac Lomasti, to which there is only few meters of descent on the Italian side. On the saddle, we go left following the signs Rosskofel. The path at first steeply ascends and crosses scree below the mountain walls of Konjski Špik, and then turns a little to the right and is on slopes partly covered with grass ascending towards the summit.
From the saddle to the top we need approximately one hour.
