Rifugio Pederü - Rifugio Lavarella

Access to starting point:
A) From Kranjska Gora over Korensko sedlo to Austria, where at the first larger crossroad, we continue left towards Podklošter / Arnoldstein and Trbiž / Tarvisio. By the end of the settlement Podklošter signs for Šmohor / Hermagor point us to the right on a regional road, on which past the mentioned settlement we drive to the end of the valley Gailtal, or more precisely to the settlement Kötschach-Mauthen, where we turn right towards the settlement Oberdrauburg. The path ahead leads us over an Alpine mountain pass Gailbergsattel (982 m), after which we descend into the mentioned settlement. After we cross the bridge over the river Drau, we continue left towards the settlement Lienz. In the main roundabout in Lienz we continue "left" in the direction of the settlement Sillian and Italy. Further, we cross the border between Austria and Italy, and we follow the main road past settlements Dobbiaco / Toblach, Villabassa / Niederdorf, Monguelfo - Tesido / Welsberg - Taisten, Brunico / Bruneck. Only a little after the last-mentioned town, past which leads a bypass road, we turn left into a valley Val Badia. Further, we drive through the mentioned valley and in the settlement Longega we turn left towards the settlement San Vigilio. In San Vigilio then at the crossroad we turn left following the signs »Pederü«. After approximately 200 meters we then turn right also following the signs »Pederü«. We follow this road all the way to a large parking lot in front of the mountain hut Rifugio Pederü.
B) From Nova Gorica, we drive to Italy and drive forward on a highway towards Venice / Venezia. At 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. When we arrive in Cortina d'Ampezzo, we follow the signs for Alpine mountain pass Passo Falzarego. On the mountain pass Passo Falzarego (2105 m) we turn right in the direction of the mountain pass Valparola and forward towards Alta Badia. In the settlement La Villa we turn right towards the settlement Brunico. We then follow the road to the settlement Longega where we turn right towards the settlement San Vigilio. In San Vigilio then at the crossroad we turn left following the signs »Pederü«. After approximately 200 meters we then turn right also following the signs »Pederü«. We follow this road all the way to a large parking lot in front of the mountain hut Rifugio Pederü.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue to a junction by the hut. Signposts point us slightly right on a footpath towards huts Lavarela and Fanes, left leads the path towards the hut Fodara Vedla. A gently sloping path first crosses a stream and a road, then starts to ascend somewhat more steeply through dwarf pines. After an initial somewhat steeper section, the path becomes flatter further on, and on a shorter section it also descends a little. The path also joins the road a few times for a short time, then again runs mostly through dwarf pines on the right side of the valley.
Further, the path turns a little to the right and increasingly beautiful views of the surrounding peaks begin to open up. Later we again join the mountain road that runs by the stream Rü dal Plan. The slightly ascending road then brings us to a junction.
Left leads the road towards the hut Rifugio Fanes (5 minutes), and we continue right towards the hut Rifugio Lavarela. The road continues by the stream and pastures and soon brings us to the hut.
