Untere Valentinalm - The lake Wolayer See

Access to starting point:
From Trbiž/Tarvisio we go on the highway towards Videm/Udine. At the settlement Carnico, we leave the highway and at first, we follow the signs towards the settlement Tolmezzo, and then signs for Austria and mountain pass Pso di Croce Carnico / Plöckenpass. On the mountain pass, we descend on the Austrian side past the mountain hut Plocken Haus. Soon, the road towards the mountain hut Untere Valentinalm branches off to the left where there is also a smaller parking lot.

Path description:
At the mountain hut, we go on the mountain road following the signs Ob. Valentinalm and Wolayer See. The road is quite gentle and is closed for public traffic. We soon leave the road and we go right on a footpath which later quite few times crosses a road and in less than an hour brings us to the hut Obere Valentinalm from which there is a nice view towards Rauchkofel (2460 meters) and on the northern wall of the mountain Kellerspitzen (2769m).
From the hut, we continue on a well-marked footpath past the mountain pasture on which in the summer livestock is grazing. At the end of the mountain pasture path turns a little to the left, where we start ascending through the valley below the mighty mountain walls of Coglians. The path through the valley, which occasionally runs on grassy slopes and occasionally on slopes covered with rocks and boulders in good hour brings us to a crossroad on a saddle Valentin Torl (2238 meters). Right runs the path on Rauchkofel, and left very demanding climbing path on Monte Coglians. We choose the middle path, which from the saddle starts descending and in approximately half an hour brings us to the lake Wolayer See from where it is a very nice view towards Monte Coglians and Monte Capolago. By the lake is also the mountain hut Wolayerseehutte.
