San Martino - Cima della Rosetta

Access to starting point:
From Nova Gorica, we drive to Italy and continue on the highway to Portogruaro, where at the highway junction we turn in the direction of Belluno. We follow the highway to the exit for Belluno; after Belluno, we follow the road in the direction of Feltre and then towards Transacqua and the mountain pass Passo Rolle. The ascending road then leads us through San Martino. From the sign that marks the end of San Martino, we continue for approximately 1 km, and then on the left side of the road we will notice a smaller parking lot where we park.

Path description:
At the starting point, we will on the right side of the road notice a signpost, which points us right on a footpath towards the mountain pasture Malga Pala. The path quickly brings us into the forest through which it then for quite some time slightly ascends. Later, the path turns to the right and after a short ascent, it brings us to a marked junction.
Left leads the path towards the mountain pass Passo Rolle, and we continue right towards the mountain pasture Malga Pala. The path further crosses slopes towards the southeast and from the path nice views open up towards San Martino and surrounding peaks. After that, the path turns a little to the left and starts ascending a little steeper in zig-zags through the forest. Later, the path becomes slightly less steep and still runs through the forest. Such a path then a little before the mountain pasture brings us to a junction where from the right a path joins from a somewhat lower starting point in San Martino. From the junction then only a short ascent follows to the hut on the mountain pasture Malga Pala.
On the mountain pasture, we continue right on a gentle road which soon brings us to a ski slope. Here we continue slightly left and a short ascent follows to the hut Colverde where there is the station of a cable car.
At the hut where there is a junction, we continue following the signs for »Rif. Rosetta«; left upwards leads the path towards the via ferrata Via Ferrata Bolver Lugli. The path first leads us through a short and sparse strip of forest, then the increasingly panoramic path for quite some time ascends in zig-zags on slopes below the peaks Croda della Pala and Cima Corona.
Higher, when from the left the path from the mountain pass Passo Rolle joins, our path turns a little to the right and crosses the slope below the gondola cable car. Further on, the path starts ascending a little steeper again, and on some spots it is also slightly exposed. The ascent nevertheless causes no particular difficulties, as the path is very well secured, on exposed spots also with a fence. Here we mostly ascend in zig-zags, and from the path we have a nice view all the time towards the nearby peak Rosetta and other peaks above the valley Val Cismon. Higher, the path turns left towards the northeast and gradually becomes less steep. Such a path then brings us to the saddle Passo di Rosetta where there is also a marked junction.
To the left it is only a few minutes of easy walking to the hut Rosetta, and we continue right towards the upper station of the gondola cable car and the summit Rosetta. The wide path from the saddle starts ascending on a relatively gentle rocky slope and soon we reach the upper station of the cable car.
Here we continue slightly left and continue ascending on a very panoramic path towards the summit. On this section the well-trodden path is marked with numerous cairns. When we approach the ridge the path turns right and a short somewhat steeper ascent follows to the summit.
