Carbonin - Monte Fumo / Rauhkofel

Access to the starting point:
Access from Gorenjska: Take the Border crossing Rateče road to Trbiž / Tarvisio, where you take the motorway towards Udine. Leave the motorway at the exit for Tolmezzo and follow the road to the above-mentioned place. From Tolmezzo, continue in the direction of Ampezzo and the Passo della Mauria mountain pass. The road then begins to descend and leads into the Cadore valley, where you continue to the right (Belluno and Cortina d'Ampezzo on the left) in the direction of Auronzo. After a few more kilometres, you will come to the next major crossroads, where you turn right towards Misurina (left Tre Croci Pass). From here, follow the road down to a major crossroads (right Dobbiaco and Austria, left Cortina d'Ampezzo). Shortly before this crossroads, you will see a large parking lot on the left side of the road.

From the Primorska side. Continue on the Italian motorway towards Padua, but only as far as the motorway junction where you continue towards Veneto and Belluno. Near Belluno the motorway ends and we continue towards Cortina d'Ampezzo and Auronzo. As the road enters the Cadore valley, we come to a large junction where the road towards Cortina d'Ampezzo goes left and the road towards Auronzo goes right. Here we continue to the right towards Auronzo. Continue as described above.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the main road for about 200 metres towards Misurina. Two dirt roads will then branch off to the right. Take the second road after the Cortina signs.
Walk along this road, which is popular with cyclists, for some time. Two narrower roads will join from the right and the road will soon lead to a wooden fence where cart track branches off to the left. Alongside cart track you will also see some old markings on the trees.
Take the cart track sign and follow it up through the forest. Cart track then leads us close to a stream bed where it becomes a path. The path continues along the bed of the torrent, which is usually without water in the lower part. The path, which follows the valley known as Val Della Fontana di Sigismondo, offers beautiful views of the nearby peaks above and of Mount Croda Rossa to the north-west.
Higher up, the path along the riverbed becomes a little less visible, so you have to be on the lookout for a scree slope where the path turns left out of the riverbed and upwards (at about 1800 m).
After climbing over the scree, the path turns left again and then ascends transversely to the north-east. The route here follows mainly the dwarf pines, but occasionally crosses some scree. This path then leads to the military tunnel on the south side of Monte Fumo.
From here on, the path becomes more difficult and, due to a small undercut, is also quite dangerous and difficult to cross. After crossing the boulder, the path leads us to a ledge on which we continue to the left and leads us to the north side of the mountain. Here we will soon come to a less visible crossroads where the northern path joins us from the left.
At the crossroads, continue right up the hill, first climbing a little steeper, then following a slightly flatter path along the dwarf pines to the summit lookout.
