Passo Pordoi - Rifugio Sass Bece

Access to starting point:
Access from Gorenjska: Through the border crossing at Rateče or Predel to Trbiž / Tarvisio and then continue on the highway in the direction of Videm / 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 then we follow the signs for the alpine pass Passo di Falzarego. We then follow this ascending road to the mentioned pass. At the 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 the pass Passo Pordoi (left Marmolada). We follow the relatively wide and ascending road all the way to the mentioned pass, where we park on the large parking lot.
From Primorska: We drive on the highway towards Venice / Venezia. At the town Portogruaro we leave the highway towards Venice and continue right on the highway towards Pordenone. At the next highway junction near Conegliano, we continue right towards Belluno. Near Belluno the highway ends, and at the next crossroads we 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 otherwise 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 north 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 left along the ski slope towards the hut Rifugio Sass Bece, which we already see ahead of us. The path then brings us to the eastern side of the peak and only a short ascent on the grassy slope to the hut follows.
