Passo Pordoi - Rifugio Belvedere

Access to starting point:
Access from Gorenjska: Via 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 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 we then follow the signs for the alpine pass Passo di Falzarego. We follow this ascending road to the mentioned pass. At the pass we arrive at a crossroad, where we continue on the left road in the direction of Marmolada and settlement Arabba (right Alta Badia). The road then descends for quite some time and brings us to a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of pass Passo Pordoi (left Marmolada). We follow the relatively wide and ascending road all the way to the mentioned pass, where we park on a large parking lot.
From Primorska side: We drive on the highway towards Venice / Venezia. Near the town Portogruaro we leave the highway towards Venice and continue right on the highway towards the town Pordenone. At the next highway junction near the town Conegliano we continue right towards the town Belluno. Near Belluno the highway ends, and we at the following crossroads continue in the direction of Cortina d'Ampezzo. Further we follow the above description.

Path description:
From the parking lot on the pass we continue towards the southeast past the hut Savoia, behind which we will notice signposts. The signposts direct us to the footpath towards the hut Rifugio Fredarola. The wide path initially runs towards the southeast and brings us to the chapel. Here the path turns right and then gently ascends below the eastern slopes of the peak Sas Bece. From the path we have a very nice view mainly on the nearby peaks in the mountain group Sella. The path then soon brings us to the saddle on the northern side of the peak Sas Bece, from where a view towards Marmolada also opens up.
At the saddle, where there is a junction, we continue straight ahead; to the left along the ski slope the path leads towards the hut Rifugio Sass Bece. The path from the saddle first crosses grassy slopes towards the south and then brings us to a macadam road.
We continue right along the macadam road, which begins to descend gently; to the left the path leads towards the hut Rifugio Sass Bece and the hut Rifugio Fredarola. After a short descent we continue slightly left and there follows only a short walk to the hut Rifugio Belvedere, which we can already see from the path for some time.
