Sella Nevea - Monte Robon (via 636 and 637)

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora over the border crossing Rateče we drive to Trbiž / Tarvisio. In Trbiž we continue left in the direction of Bovec and we follow the road to the crossroads near Rabeljsko jezero. Here we continue right in the direction of Nevejski preval / Sella Nevea. We follow this road, which is mostly ascending, to a large parking lot at the bottom station of the cableway, which runs to the hut Gilberti.
From Bovec, we drive to the border crossing Predel, from which we descend to the Italian side. Only a little after Rabeljsko jezero we come to the crossroads, where we continue left in the direction of Nevejski preval / Sella Nevea. Further, we follow the description above.

Path description:
At the parking lot, we head onto a narrow asphalt road by the hotel Nevea. After approximately a hundred meters of walking on the road, signposts direct us left across a meadow onto a marked footpath (path no. 636). The path soon brings us into the forest, through which we then ascend on a military mule track. The forest becomes thinner and the path soon brings us to the ruins of the Poviz barracks. The path then continues ascending and brings us to a marked junction, where we continue left in the direction of the Prevala saddle (right: Rifugio Gilberti hut).
The path ahead flattens somewhat and becomes increasingly panoramic. Just a little further, we reach the next junction. This time we continue straight on the lower path in the direction of "Sella Robon" (right, slightly uphill: Prevala).
Ahead, a relatively easy path continues across a vast plateau-like karst landscape, over which an excellently preserved mule track leads us. This is followed by about 20 minutes of easy walking along the path, from which we enjoy fine views of the Montaž and Viš groups to the left and, to the right, towards Lopa, Hudi vršič and later Velika Črnelska špica. After a while, the path brings us to an indistinct saddle, from which it begins to descend for some time. After the descent we are 150 m lower, and the path brings us to the edge of a high mountain sinkhole, where another path from Nevejski preval joins from the left.
The path ahead begins to ascend moderately and, in a few hairpin turns, brings us to the panoramic saddle Vrh Laških brežičev (Italian: Sella Robon), where there is an information board and beside it a table with two benches.
At the saddle, we continue left (straight ahead: Jerebica 6 hours) and continue the ascent along an easy-to-follow but henceforth unmarked path. Ahead, the path ascends diagonally across a fairly steep slope, then levels out and brings us to numerous military fortifications. We bypass these fortifications on the left along a wide artificial ledge, after which only a short ascent remains and the path brings us to the caving bivouac Modonutti - Savoia.
From the bivouac, we continue left along an initially still easy-to-follow path that soon crosses a short exposed ledge, then turns right and ascends very steeply through a small notch, where stone steps assist us. Higher up, the path levels out and begins to fade among numerous limestone slabs and sinkholes, but since numerous cairns mark the continuation, orientation is at least not difficult in good weather. Higher up, the path begins to turn somewhat more to the right and leads us past numerous sinkholes. Just below the summit, we reach a massive sinkhole, along whose edge a collapsed section of path runs. Here, instead of crossing the exposed passage over rotten timber, it is much safer to climb the solid rock on the right side or to crawl through it in the lower part. Once we reach the other side of this passage, the path levels out and quickly brings us, past yet another exposed but wide ledge, to the panoramic summit.
