Passo Tre Croci - Rifugio Son Forca

Access to the starting point:
Via Border crossing Rateče or Predel to Trbiž / Tarvisio and then follow 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 right towards Auronzo. Follow the signs for the Tre Croci Pass.

Path description:
From the Tre Croci pass, turn right onto the narrow, initially asphalted road (route 203). There are also signs at the beginning of the road directing you to the road. The tarmac ends quickly and you pass a barrier and start climbing up a dirt road, which is closed to traffic. The road through the forest then soon leads to a crossroads where a path branches off to the right towards the Forcella del Cristallo notch, and we continue along the forest road. When we emerge from the forest, we are joined on the left by a path from the parking lot at the Monte Cristallo ski resort. We continue up the road for a while and then signs point us to the right onto a footpath.
The path starts to climb a little steeper and the views of the surrounding peaks start to get better and better. The path continues to ascend, crossing the slopes to the north-west and passing mostly along the rare dwarf pines. Higher up, the path leads to the Sonforcia saddle where it rejoins the dirt road.
At the saddle, continue right along the road, which you then follow all the way to the Son Forca hut.
