Sella Nevea - Prestreljenik (on ski track)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, then continue driving through the border crossing Rateče into Italy. We drive towards Trbiž / Tarvisio, then at the beginning of the mentioned town turn left in the direction of Bovec. Further on, we drive on the regional road towards the border crossing Predel, but we follow the main road to the intersection near Rabeljsko jezero / Lago del Predil. Here we continue right in the direction of Nevejski preval (V Žlebeh) / Sella Nevea and reach the already mentioned saddle on an asphalt road. We park on a large parking lot by the lower station of the circular cabin cable car, which runs towards the mountain hut Rifugio Gilberti.
B) First, we drive to Bovec, then continue driving towards the border crossing Predel, through which we drive into Italy. A descent to Rabeljsko jezero follows, after which we leave the main road leading towards Trbiž and continue driving left in the direction of Nevejski preval (V Žlebeh). The road then starts ascending again, and we follow it to the already mentioned saddle. We park on a large parking lot by the lower station of the circular cabin cable car, which runs towards the mountain hut Rifugio Gilberti.

Path description:
At the end of the parking lot we notice the sign for the mountain hut Gilberti, which directs us to the lower part of the ski slope. When we step onto the slope we continue left and after a shorter ascent step onto the transport-rescue road, which ascends up the slope. Along the relatively steep and closed-to-traffic road new views open up step by step for us, which are the most beautiful towards the nearby Bela peč and the Montaževa group of mountains. The road higher completely approaches the cliffs of Bela peč and then brings us to the upper station of the old cableway.
From the cableway we continue in the direction of the Rifugio Gilberti hut along a gentle road, which brings us past the chapel to the mountain hut and the upper station of the new circular cabin cable car in a few minutes.
From the Gilberti hut we descend into the frost hollow Prevalska ravan, from where we continue right along the initially gentle ski slope. We continue the ascent along the transport-rescue road, which ascends parallel to the ski slope. Higher the road rejoins the ski slope, which climbs amid extensive snowfields. Above the snowfield the "path" ascends even more steeply, then brings us in a few minutes of further walking to the Prevala saddle, where the state border is.
We continue right along the Slovenian side of the ski slope, along which in 30 minutes of further walking we ascend to Sedlo (saddle between Grdi vršič and Prestreljenik).
From Sedlo, where there is also the exit station of the Prevala 4-seater chairlift, we notice a large marker, which directs us to the western side of Sedlo. Here the marked path turns right and begins steeply ascending the steep slope. Higher the path temporarily flattens, then passes by the foot of Prestreljenik, where it first ascends over scree. The path further passes onto steep slopes, where it then ascends diagonally towards the right. A short ascent over the grassy slope follows, the path then passes into entirely rocky terrain, where we must help ourselves with our hands at a few spots. Higher the path brings us to the main ridge, where a few damaged fixed safety gear assist us. The path then slightly flattens and brings us in a few dozen steps of further walking to the panoramic summit.

On the way: Rifugio Gilberti mountain hut (1850m), Prevala (2067m), Sedlo (2282m)
