Rifugio Tolazzi - Cima di Mezzo / Keller Warte (via Rifugio Marinelli)

Access to starting point:
From Trbiž/Tarvisio we go on the highway towards Videm/Udine. We leave the highway at exit for Tolmezzo. At Tolmezzo we then also leave the road which runs towards the mountain pass Passo di Croce Carnico / Plöckenpass and go towards Villa Santina. In Villa Santina at the roundabout, we go straight following the signs Ovaro, Sappada. We follow this road all the way to Forni Avoltri, where we turn right following the signs Collina. We then follow the asphalt road all the way to the parking lot before the mountain hut Tolazzi.

Path description:
From the parking lot at the mountain hut Tolazzi we continue on the road following the signs Rifugio Marinelli. After a short ascent, we come to a crossroad, where the path towards the mountain hut Lambertenghi-Romanin branches off to the left. We continue on the mountain road, and then in a sharp left turn we leave the road and we continue on a cart track which soon passes into a footpath. Next follows an ascent through the forest by the stream Morareto, and then we again join the mountain road which we follow all the way to Casera Morareet, where there is also a marked crossing. Here we leave the mountain road and go right (towards the east) and we start ascending on grassy slopes with a nice view towards the nearby peaks. After that, the path turns slightly to the left and then follows a little steeper ascent towards the mountain hut Marinelli.
At the mountain hut, we go towards the northwest following the signs Monte Coglians and we start ascending on a little steeper grassy slopes. The path quickly brings us to an unmarked crossing, where the path Sentiero Spinotti branches off to the left towards the mountain hut Lambertenghi – Romanin. Our path here turns to the right and it ascends to the grassy ridge. Further, the path runs again slightly left from the ridge and joins it again below the summit Pic Chiadin. The summit is located just few meters from the path.
Immediately behind the mentioned peak path slightly descends and on a short little exposed ridge brings us in entirely new world. Slopes covered with grass are instantly replaced by bare rock. Here the path also brings us to a marked crossing.
Left leads the path towards the summit Monte Coglians, and we go right towards the summit Cima di Mezzo. From the crossing, the path turns to the right and is for some time ascending on a grassy slope upwards. After that, the path turns slightly to the left and it brings us on the east slopes of the mountain. The path here soon becomes a little less steep and is mostly slightly ascending on a slope covered with rocks and boulders towards the north. The footpath on this part mostly isn't visible so we have to pay attention to blazes. Such a path runs all the way to the notch on the eastern side of the peak Cima di Mezzo where from the right side joins the marked path which runs by the ridge below the summit Creta Monumentz. To notch on which there are Tibetian prayer flags is possible also access from the north side on very demanding pathless terrain from cirque Vallone della Chianevate. In the last part of the mentioned access there are also some steel cables.
On the notch, we continue sharply to the left and we start ascending steeper on a rocky slope. The path is then for quite some time quite steeply ascending and brings us on the southern slopes of the mountain. Here the path turns to the right and it ascends on a quite steep slope on which we reach the secondary peak.
From the secondary peak from which opens up also a view on the main peak we at first slightly descend after that follows only the last undemanding ascent to a panoramic summit.
