Passo Pordoi - Col di Rosc

Access to the starting point:
Access from Gorenjska: Via Border crossing Rateče or Predel to Trbiž / Tarvisio and then along the motorway towards Udine to the Tolmezzo exit. From Tolmezzo, follow the road towards Ampezzo and the Passo della Mauria mountain pass. The road then descends and leads to a crossroads where you turn left (possibly right) towards Cortina d'Ampezzo. At all subsequent junctions, follow the signs for Cortina d'Ampezzo.
In Cortina d'Ampezzo, follow the signs for the Passo di Falzarego Alpine pass. Follow this ascending road to the pass. At the pass, you reach a crossroads, where you follow the road on the left towards Marmolada and the village of Arabba (Alta Badia on the right). The road descends for some time, then leads to a crossroads, where you continue on the right towards Passo Pordoi (Marmolada on the left). Follow the relatively wide and ascending road until you reach the pass, where you park in a large parking lot.
From the coastal side: Take the motorway towards Venice/Venezia. At Portogruaro, leave the motorway towards Venice and turn right on the motorway towards Pordenone. At the next motorway junction near Conegliano, turn right towards Belluno. The motorway ends near Belluno and we continue towards Cortina d'Ampezzo at the next junctions. Continue as described above.

Path description:
From the parking lot at the pass, continue south-east past the Savoia hut, after which you will see signs. Signposts will direct you to the footpath to the Rifugio Fredarola hut. The wide path initially heads south-east and leads to the chapel. Here the path turns to the right and then climbs gently under the eastern slopes of Sas Bece. From the path we have a very good view, especially of the nearby peaks of the Sella mountain group. The trail then soon leads to a saddle on the north side of the Sas Bece peak, from where we also have a view towards Marmolada.
At the saddle where the crossroads are, continue straight ahead, and to the left of the ski slope, the path leads to hut Rifugio Sass Bece. The path from the saddle first crosses the grassy slopes to the south and then leads to a macadam road.
Continue right along the dirt road, which begins to descend gently, and to the left is a path leading to Chalet Rifugio Sass Bece and Chalet Rifugio Fredarola. After a short descent, continue slightly to the left and there is only a short walk to hut Rifugio Belvedere, which can be seen from the path for some time.
At the hut, continue along the dirt road that runs along the ski slope and quickly reaches a crossroads. The road to Pecol branches off to the right, and we continue straight ahead along the scenic road leading to the top of Col di Rosc, where the top station of the gondola lift is located. There is only a short climb to the top.
