San Martino - Rifugio Malga Pala

Access to starting point:
From Nova Gorica, we drive to Italy and we drive forward on the highway to the settlement Portogruaro, where at the highway junction we turn in the direction of the settlement Belluno. We follow the highway to exit Belluno, after the settlement Belluno we follow the road in the direction of the settlement Feltre and then towards the settlement Transacqua and mountain pass Passo Rolle. An ascending road then leads us through the settlement San Martino. From the sign, which marks the end of the settlement San Martino we continue for approximately 1km, and then we will on the left side of the road 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 is then for quite some time slightly ascending. Later, the path turns to the right and after a short ascent, it brings us to a marked crossing.
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 the settlement 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 run through the forest. Such a path then a little before the mountain pasture brings us to a crossing where from the right side joins the path from a little lower starting point in the settlement San Martino. From the crossing then only a short ascent follows to cottages on the mountain pasture Malga Pala.
