Access to the starting point:
Drive through the Karavanke Tunnel into Austria, then continue to Spittal and on to Lienz (the motorway ends a little after Spittal). We continue along a relatively nice and wide road through the Drava Valley, which leads us into Itali. The road continues past Dobbiaco/Toblach and Brunico/Bruneck. Just after the last-mentioned town, which is passed by a bypass road, we turn left into the Val Badia valley. Continue along the valley past La Vila and Corvara. Then climb up to the Passo Campolongo. A few hundred metres before the pass, you will see a gravel parking area on your left. The parking lot is located behind the Hotel Laguscei, opposite the bus stop. The lower station of the chairlift is also along the road. There is also a smaller parking lot on the right hand side of the road in front of the bus station.
Path description:
From the parking lot at the Laguscei Hotel, take the cart track, which runs to the right under the cable car, and after a few dozen metres you will reach a marked crossroads.
Bear left on the fainter cart track, where you will be directed by the signs for "Inzija, Pralongia". To the right, cart track leads to the summit of Cherz. Our route then crosses the ski slope to the left side of the cable car and cart track quickly becomes a track. The path then leads into the woods and down to the left the path branches off towards the Planac parking lot and on towards Corvara. We continue straight on and the path quickly leads out of the forest and onto the ski slope. Here the path climbs steeply up the ski slope for a short distance and then turns left off the ski slope and into the forest again. The trail continues through the forest, from which we occasionally get views of the Puez mountain group. This path soon leads to a crossroads, where another slightly longer path joins from the Passo Campolongo pass on the right.
At the crossroads, continue left and then cross through the forest, heading mainly eastwards. The path then leads out of the forest to a clearing or ski slope where there is a bench and another crossroads.
To the left another path leads down to Corvara, to the right a path leads to the summit of Cherz, and we continue straight on, following the signs "Inzija, Pralongia". The gentle path, which occasionally drops slightly, continues through the forest to the east. Here you will also see a few benches and small wells along the way. Once out of the forest, there is only a short descent to the Passo Incisa saddle, where you join the dirt road. There is also the beautifully furnished La Marmotta hut on the left.
