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 exit Tolmezzo. 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 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. At 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 it 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 a large parking lot.
Access from Primorska: We drive on the highway in the direction of Padova, but only to the highway junction, where we continue in the direction of the region Veneto and Belluno. Near Belluno the highway ends, and we follow the road ahead in the direction of the city 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 the 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 steeper across a panoramic grassy slope, then it flattens and brings us into more rocky terrain. The path ahead turns slightly to the left and begins to ascend steeper again. After a few minutes of further walking we finally leave the grassy slopes, and the path transitions into gravel terrain, across which we ascend on a fairly wide path. The path higher up flattens once more 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.
At the hut we continue left and begin to ascend a relatively steep slope towards the northwest. The path then soon turns left and follows the ascent on a wide gentle slope to the top.
