Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Cortina d'Ampezzo (you can get here via the border crossing Rateče or Predel to Trbiž / Tarvisio and then on the highway in the direction of 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 (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 then we follow the signs for alpine pass Passo di Falzarego. On the mentioned pass we come to a crossroad, where we continue on the left road in the direction of Marmolada and settlement Arabba (right Alta Badia). The road ahead descends for quite some time, then 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.
Access from Primorska: We drive on a highway in the direction of Padova, but only to a highway junction, where we continue in the direction of Veneto and Belluno. Near Belluno the highway ends, and we follow the road ahead in the direction of Belluno, where at the larger crossroad we continue right in the direction of the town Agordo. From the mentioned town onwards we follow the signs for settlement Arabba and alpine pass Passo Pordoi, which is also the starting point for our tour.
Path description:
From the parking lot first we carefully cross the road, then we head to path no. 627 (direction Piz Boe). The path first ascends somewhat more steeply over a panoramic grassy slope, then it flattens and brings us into more rocky terrain. The path ahead turns slightly to the left and starts ascending more steeply again. After a few minutes of further walking we finally leave the grassy slopes, and the path transitions into gravelly terrain, over which we ascend on a quite wide path. Higher up the path flattens once again and brings us to a marked junction.
We continue straight on path no. 627 in the direction of hut Rifugio Forcella Pordoi and Rifugio Boe (right Ferrata C. Piazzetta). The path ahead transitions into increasingly steep scree, which takes quite some energy from us. We follow this path, which in the upper part is also exposed to falling rocks, all the way to the mountain hut Rifugio Forcella Pordoi, which we reach when we ascend to the top of the aforementioned scree.
