Passo Campolongo - Rifugio Incisa

Access to starting point:
Through the Karawanks Tunnel, we drive into Austria, then we continue driving towards Spittal and further towards Lienz (a little after Spittal the highway ends). Further, we drive on a relatively nice and wide road through the Drau Valley, which brings us into Italy. The road further leads past Dobbiaco / Toblach and Brunico / Bruneck. Only a little after the last-mentioned town, past which a bypass leads, we turn left into the Val Badia valley. Further, we drive through the mentioned valley past the places La Vila and Corvara. Next follows an ascent towards the Passo Campolongo pass. A few hundred meters before the pass, we will notice a macadam parking lot on the left side on which we park. The parking lot is located behind the Hotel Laguscei opposite the bus stop. By the road is also the lower station of the chairlift. A smaller parking lot is also on the right side of the road before the bus stop.

Path description:
From the parking lot at the Hotel Laguscei we ascend on a cart track which runs right under the cableway and after a few tens of metres we come to a marked junction.
We turn left onto a worse cart track, where the signs for »Inzija, Pralongia« direct us. To the right, a cart track leads towards the summit of Cherz. Our path then crosses the ski slope to the left side of the cableway and the cart track quickly turns into a path. The path then takes us into the forest and to the left downwards a path branches off towards the Planac parking lot and further towards the place Corvara. We continue straight ahead and the path quickly takes us from the forest onto the ski slope. Here the path steeply ascends the ski slope for a short time, then turns left from the ski slope and re-enters the forest. Further on, the path runs through the forest from which we occasionally still get views towards the Puez mountain group. Such a path soon brings us to a junction, where another slightly longer path from the Passo Campolongo pass joins us from the right.
At the junction we continue left and then cross the slopes through the forest mostly towards the east. The path then takes us from the forest onto a clearing or ski slope where there is a bench and another junction.
To the left downwards leads another path towards the place Corvara, to the right leads a path towards the summit of Cherz, but we continue straight ahead and follow the signs »Inzija, Pralongia«. A level path, which occasionally also gently descends, continues through the forest towards the east. Here along the path we will also notice quite a few benches and springs. When we come out of the forest, only a short descent follows and the path takes us to the Passo Incisa saddle, where we join the macadam road. Here on the left side is also the nicely arranged hut La Marmotta.
At the marked junction in front of the hut, we turn right slightly downwards onto the road towards the Rifugio Incisa hut. Only a short descent follows to the mentioned hut, which we already see in front of us.
