Access to the starting point:
From Ljubljana through the Caravan Tunnel to Spittal. Continue to Lienz, where you will reach a roundabout and continue towards Sillian and Itali. On the Italian side of the border, you quickly reach San Candido, where you turn left towards the tourist town of Sesto / Sexten. Just after Sesto, you reach San Giuseppe / Moss, where signs for Val Fiscalina / Fischleintal point you to the right. Continue along the ascending road and follow it to a large pay parking area.
The free parking lot is about 2 km further down, at the bottom station of the circular cable car "Alta Pusteria".
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the main road for a few dozen metres and, just before the Dolomitenhof Hotel, turn right onto a narrow road that is closed to traffic. The road, still asphalted at first, soon becomes a dirt road. Later, turn left off the road onto a wide footpath that leads through a valley with views ahead. The hut Talschlusshütte / Rifugio Fondo Valle is soon reached along a sloping path.
At the hut, continue to the right, following the signs "Rif. Tre Cime" and "Rif. Comici". After a few minutes' walk along a wide path, you will reach the marked crossroads again. At the crossroads, where there is a magnificent view of the north face of the Einserkofel / Cima Una (2698m), turn left onto path 103, where you will be directed by the signs for hut Rifugio Comici, and to the right the path leads to hut Rifugio Locatelli / Drei Zinnen Hütte (Drei Zinnen Hütte).
The trail then turns left and follows the rolling terrain, mostly along the dwarf pines, towards Val Fiscilina Alta. The path then begins to climb in switchbacks and leads to the slopes on the eastern side of the summit of the Cima Una. Here the path takes us high above the valley, below steep cliffs, and runs southwards all the way. At first the path crosses a slope with sparse forest a few times, then it leads to steeper slopes. As the path is wide, the ascent is easy. In winter, however, when there is snow, the path is dangerous for slipping. In the last part of the way towards the hut, we have a beautiful view of the precipitous cliffs of the Collerena 2607 m, then the path turns slightly right and there is one last climb to the Comici hut.
From the hut, continue west to the right, following the signs "Rif. The trail continues to climb westwards and the views of the surrounding peaks become more and more beautiful. The grass and other vegetation along the way becomes thinner and thinner, and then it is a climb up a rocky slope to the Passo Fiscalino saddle. Here you will also see some remains from the First World War along the way. From the saddle, continue slightly to the right, following the signs "Rif. Pian di Cengia". The path becomes less steep here and, after crossing steep slopes, leads to the Pian di Cengia hut.
