We drive towards Trbiž / Tarvisio, and then at the beginning of the mentioned town, we turn left in the direction of Bovec.

We park on a large parking lot by the lower 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 directs us to the lower part of the ski slope. When we step onto the slope we continue left and after a shorter ascent we step onto the transport-rescue road, which ascends up the slope. On the relatively steep and closed-to-traffic road new views open up step by step, which are most beautiful towards the nearby Bela peč and on the Montasio group of mountains. The road higher gets very close to the cliffs of Bela peč and then brings us to the upper station of the cable car.
From the cable car we continue in the direction of the mountain hut on a gentle road, which past the chapel in a few minutes brings us to the mountain hut.
PS: During operation of the ski area walking on the transport-rescue road is forbidden, likewise walking is forbidden during construction works on the ski area.
