Ombrico - Malga Granuda

Access to the starting point:
After crossing the Rateče or Predel border crossing, drive to Trbiz / Tarvisio, then continue along the old road to Udine. Follow this road to Cucco. Follow the main road to the turn-off for Ombrico. Here, leave the main road and turn left onto a narrower road, which initially goes slightly downhill. The road crosses a bridge over a wide channel of the river Fiuma Fella and then turns right to join a cycle path. Continue along the narrow road, which is also a cycle path. Follow this road until you reach a small bridge, after which you will come to a crossroads. Turn left onto the ascending road, which leads you towards the motorway viaduct. Park in a suitable place on the roadside near the viaduct.

Path description:
Continue along the road to the other side of the viaduct where there is a crossroads. Go straight on to cart track where there is a sign prohibiting further traffic. Cart track starts to climb and in the initial part we have some nice views to the north where we can see some peaks over the Kanal valley. After a few bends, cart track leads us into the forest through which we then climb for quite some time in the keys. Higher up, cart track takes us to more easterly slopes where we can hear the Rio Granuda Grande deep below us. Here we also get occasional views towards the Two Spires. Cart track is then followed all the way to mountain pasture of Malga Granuda. When you reach mountain pasture, climb a little further and at the right-hand bend you will reach a crossroads where you will join the marked path.
To the left is route 604 towards Dvem špice, and we continue to the right along cart track, followed by a short climb to the shepherd's hut at mountain pasture.
