Access to starting point:
From Ljubljana through the Karawanks Tunnel to Spittal. Next, we drive towards Lienz, where at the roundabout we continue in the direction of the village Sillian and Italy. On the Italian side of the border, we quickly come to San Candido, where we continue left in the direction of the tourist town Sesto / Sexten. Only a little after the town Sesto we come to San Giuseppe / Moss, where signs for Val Fiscalina / Fischleintal direct us to the right. Next, we drive on an ascending road, which we follow to a large paid parking lot (3€ for parking longer than 6 hours, otherwise 0.5€ per hour – August 2015).
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue a few dozen meters on the main road and a little before the hotel Dolomitenhof we turn right onto a narrow road that is closed to traffic. Initially still asphalted, the road soon becomes macadam. From the road, we then turn left onto a wide footpath that leads further through a scenic valley. On a gentle path, we then soon reach the mountain hut Talschlusshütte / Rifugio Fondo Valle.
At the mountain hut, we continue right following the signs »Rif. Tre Cime« and »Rif. Comici«. After a few minutes of walking on a wide track we come again to a marked junction. At the junction, where there is a magnificent view of the northern wall of the peak Einserkofel / Cima Una (2698m), we continue left on path 103 where signs direct us to the mountain hut Rifugio Comici / Zsigmondy Hütte, while right leads the path towards the mountain hut Rifugio Locatelli / Drei Zinnen Hütte.
Further, the path turns left and runs on gentle terrain mostly alongside dwarf pines towards the valley Val Fiscalina Alta. The path then starts ascending in zigzags and brings us to the slopes on the eastern side of the peak Cima Una. Here the path leads high above the valley below steep walls and all the time runs towards the south. At first, the path crosses the slope with sparse forest a few times, then brings us to even steeper slopes. Since the path is wide, the ascent does not cause problems. In wintertime, when there is snow here, the path is dangerous for slipping. In the last part of the path towards the hut, a nice view opens up of the precipitous walls of the peak Collerena 2607 m; then the path turns slightly right and the last ascent to the Comici hut follows.
At the hut, we continue left on path number 103 following the signs »Carducci Hütte«. At first, we slightly descend on grassy terrain towards the scree below the walls of the peak Croda dei Toni (Zwolferkofel). When we reach the scree, the path turns left and we soon come to a junction.
Sharply right upward leads the path towards the notch Forcella Croda dei Toni (Zwolferscharte), while we continue towards the southeast and start ascending towards the notch Forcella Giralba. We continue traversing and ascending on the scree below the mighty walls of the peak Croda dei Toni and the path brings us to a junction by the lake Lago Ghiacciato (Eissee).
Left leads the path named Strada degli Alpini (Alpinisteig), while we continue the ascent towards the notch Forcella Giralba. A little before the notch, another path branches off to the left, which after a short traverse joins the path that branched off at the lake.
On the notch, we continue to the south side and start descending towards the mountain hut Rifugio Carducci, which we can already see. The path to the hut, from which we have a wonderful view of the walls of nearby peaks all the time, descends all the way. From the notch to the hut we descend approximately 130 altitude meters.
Towards the starting point we can return on the ascent path or continue on a circular path around the peak Croda dei Toni (Zwolferkofel). This path is very demanding and we will need a helmet and a self-protection kit.
Descent is also possible on the south side towards the place Giralba. This path is, due to a landslide (July 2015), also demanding and especially in rain descent by this path is not advised.
