Rifugio Pederü - Rifugio Sennes

Access to starting point:
A) From Kranjska Gora over Korensko sedlo to Austria, where at the first larger intersection we continue left towards Podklošter / Arnoldstein and Trbiž / Tarvisio. At 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 Gailtal valley, or more precisely to the settlement Kötschach-Mauthen, where we turn right towards the settlement Oberdrauburg. The path ahead leads us over the Alpine 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 the Val Badia valley. 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 intersection 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. Near 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 intersections we continue in the direction of Cortina d'Ampezzo. When we get to Cortina d'Ampezzo, we follow the signs for the Alpine pass Passo Falzarego. On the pass Passo Falzarego (2105 m) we turn right in the direction of the 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 intersection 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 mountain hut Rifugio Pederü we continue left on a macadam road where signposts for the mountain hut direct us. The road, which is closed to traffic, at the beginning starts very steeply ascending in zig-zags and beautiful views start to open up on surrounding peaks. Further on, the road becomes slightly less steep and runs mostly through the forest. After a good half hour of walking from the starting point, the road brings us to a marked junction.
Straight ahead the road leads towards the mountain hut Fodara, and we continue left following the signs »Rif. Sennes Hütte«. At the junction, we slightly descend and cross a stream. The path is here for some time fairly flat, then turns left and in ascent crosses steep slopes towards the northwest. Higher up, the path turns right and we soon join the road from the mountain hut Fodara.
Further, we walk on the road, which constantly ascends slightly, and slowly even more beautiful views start to open up. The forest along the road is replaced by dwarf pines and from the right a footpath from the mountain hut Fodara joins us.
The road further becomes somewhat flatter and soon we come to a junction where the road to the huts Rifugio Ra Stua and Rifugio Biella branches off to the right. At the junction, we continue left and to the hut Rifugio Sennes only some walking on a flat road remains.
