Approach


 
SAPPADA VILLAGE
You can arrive To Sappada from the Veneto side: take the Venice-Belluno highway and then go towards Pieve di Cadore. If you come from Friuli leave the Udine-Tarvisio highway at the Carnia exit and drive towards Villa Santina and Forni Avoltri (45 km. ) Those who travel by train stop at Calalzo, end of the line from Venice and Padova or Carnia on the Udine Tarvisio line. Train stations are about 40 kilometers from Sappada, to which they connect by frequent bus lines that meet the main trains. The closest airports are the international airports in Venice (180 km) and Trieste (140 km).

Route Description

By chairlift from Cima Sappada to Refuge Monte Siera. From refuge Monte Siera cross the the skilift to East. You arrive to a short ferrata (a small path with a rope fixed omong the rocks). You have to passo through "Forcella Rinsen" (2200 meters, direction south, situated between Creta Forata and Cima 11). Last part to the peak on a ridge not exposed but better to climb without the precence of snow.

Nice view from the peak.
