Untere Valentinalm - The lake Wolayer See

Access to the starting point:
From Trbiz/Tarvisio, take the motorway to Udine/Vidmo. Leave the motorway at Carnico and first follow signs for Tolmezzo, then signs for Austria and the Pso di Croce Carnico Pass / Plockenpass. At the pass, descend to the Austrian side past the Plocken Haus hut. Soon the road branches off to the left towards the Untere Valentinalm hut, where there is also a small parking lot.

Path description:
At the hut, turn onto the mountain road after the Ob. The road is quite sloping and is closed to public traffic. Soon we leave the road and turn right onto the track, which later crosses the road several times and leads us in less than an hour to the Obere Valentinalm hut from which there is a nice view of the Rauchkofel (2460m) and the north face of the Kellerspitzen (2769m).
From the hut, follow the well-marked path past the mountain pasture where cattle graze in summer. At the end of mountain pasture the path turns slightly to the left, where you start to climb up the valley below the mighty walls of the Coglians. The path through the valley, which sometimes runs on grassy slopes and sometimes on slopes strewn with rocks and boulders, leads in just over an hour to a junction at the saddle Valentin Torl (2238m). To the right is the path to Rauchkofel, and to the left is a very difficult climbing route to Monte Coglians. Rauchkofel is the route to the right and Monte Coglians to the left. We take the middle route, which starts descending from the saddle and leads us in about half an hour to the lake Wolayer See from where there is a very nice view of Monte Coglians and Monte Capolago. The Wolayerseehutte hut is also by the lake.

On the way: Obere Valentinalm (1540m), Valentin Torl (2238m)
