Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, and then we continue driving through the border crossing Rateče into Italy. We drive towards Trbiž / Tarvisio, and then at the beginning of the mentioned town, we turn left in the direction of Bovec. Further, we drive on a regional road towards the border crossing Predel, and we follow the main road to a crossroad near the lake Rabeljsko jezero / Lago del Predil. Here we continue right in the direction of Nevejski preval (V Žlebeh) / Sella Nevea and on an asphalt road, we reach already mentioned saddle. We park on a large parking lot by the bottom station of the cable car, which runs towards the mountain hut Rifugio Gilberti.
B) First, we drive to Bovec, and then we continue driving towards the border crossing Predel, over which we drive in Italy. Next follows a descent to the lake Rabeljsko jezero, after which we leave the main road which leads towards Trbiž and we continue driving left in the direction of Nevejski preval (V Žlebeh). The road then again starts ascending, and we follow it to the already mentioned saddle. We park on a large parking lot by the bottom station of the cable car, which runs towards the mountain hut Rifugio Gilberti.
Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, we notice the sign for mountain hut Gilberti, which points us on the bottom part of ski track. When we step on track we continue left and after a shorter ascent, we step on a transport road which is ascending on track upwards. With relatively steep and for traffic closed road with every step new views are opening up, which are most beautiful on the nearby Bela peč and on Montaž group of mountains. The road higher gets very close to cliffs of Bela peč and then it brings us to the upper station of an old cableway.
From the cableway we continue in the direction of the mountain hut Rifugio Gilberti on a gently sloping road which past the chapel in few minutes brings us to the mountain hut and the upper station of new cable car.
From the mountain hut Gilberti we descend in frost hollow Prevalska ravan, from where we continue right on at first gentle ski track. We continue the ascent on a transport road which is ascending parallel with ski track. Higher, the road again joins ski slope, and it ascends among extensive snow fields. Above the snow field "path" ascends even steeper, and then in few minutes of additional walking brings us on a saddle Prevala, where there is national border.
We continue right on the Slovenian side of the ski slope, on which in 30 minutes of additional walking, we ascend on Sedlo (saddle between Grdi vršič and Prestreljenik).
From the saddle Sedlo, where there is also an upper station of 4-seater chairlift Prevala, we notice a big blaze, which points us on the western side of the saddle Sedlo. Here the marked path turns to the right and starts ascending steeply on a steep slope. Higher, the path for some time flattens, and then passes over by the foot of Prestreljenik, where at first it ascends on gravel. The path ahead passes on steep slopes, where it is then ascending diagonally towards the right. Next follows a short ascent over a grassy slope, and the path then passes on entirely rocky terrain, where on some spots we have to help ourselves with hands. Higher, the path brings us on the main ridge, where we get some help from damaged fixed safety gear. The path then slightly flattens and in few 10 strides of additional walking brings us on a panoramic peak.
