Access to the starting point:
Via Border crossing Rateče, take the 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, we reach the next major crossroads, where we turn right towards Misurina (left Tre Croci Pass). From here, we follow the road down to a major crossroads, where we turn left towards Cortina d'Ampezzo (right Austria). A few kilometres before Cortina d'Ampezzo, we reach the point of Fiames. Just at the beginning of Fiames (by the signpost marking the town) you will see a small parking lot on the left (east) side of the road. On the right side of the road there is a hotel and a couple of other car parks.
Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the marked path through the forest in a south-easterly direction. After a short climb, you will come to a dirt road on the right. Leave the road quickly and head uphill to the left, following the signs "Ferrovia, Ferrata Strobel". Here the path climbs gently through the forest and then joins another dirt road (route 208), which is very popular with cyclists. Continue right on the gravel road, but after a few metres leave it and head left up the protected Via Ferrata Strobel.
The path initially passes through a forest and then starts to climb steeply. The woods soon end and the path turns slightly to the left and climbs mainly through dwarf pines along the bed of a torrent. Here you climb towards a wide gully, but when you get quite close to the cliffs the path turns right onto a ledge.
At the beginning of the ledge, you will also see a sign in the wall indicating that the trail is dedicated to the mountain guide Michiella Albino Strobel. The path on the ledge climbs gently and crosses the wall to the right. Here the path is not yet belayed, but then it turns left and leads to the first fixed safety gear. The protected route climbs very steeply at the start, alongside the belay, and it is necessary to have some strength in your arms. From the trail, however, we have increasingly fine views of the nearby Tofana mountain group and the Boite valley. The trail then turns slightly to the left and climbs steeply along the steel cable a few more times. Higher up, the path turns to the right and leads to less steep slopes. The path then crosses the slope to the right and soon we have a view of the Sorapiss mountain group. Here the path becomes more challenging again and climbs vertically with the help of a few scrambles. There is a less demanding traverse to the left, which brings you in front of a relatively long vertical ladder. After the ladder, there is a climb up a couple of scrambles, and then the route becomes a shade less steep and climbs for a while along a rope. Higher up, the path turns right and then climbs a less steep slope along a rare dwarf pines. Later, the path turns left again and there is a final slightly steeper climb along a steel cable. Fixed safety gear then ends and the path leads to the less steep northern slopes of the mountain where there is a crossroads. We continue right up towards the summit, and the path to the left leads down to the Forcella del Pomagagnon. From the crossroads, we climb gently up the rocky slope and soon reach the viewpoint.
Descend along the path over the Forcella del Pomagagnon notch. From the notch, descend the ravine to the south side and from there back to the starting point. From the Forcella del Pomagagnon, you can also descend by a less steep, but slightly longer, path that descends from the notch to the north side of the Val Pomagagnon valley.

Ko se ferata konča in prideš na manj strma pobočja pred vrhom, se takoj v levo odcepi stezica, ki je označena z možici. To ni prava pot! Prava pot proti škrbini Pomagagnon se odcepi levo šele nekaj metrov pod vrhom.

Težavnost ferate je za stopnjo nižja in zasluži na najtežjih mestih oceno B/C kot je tudi ocenjena v vseh resnih vodnikih.
