Access to the starting point:
From Trbiž / Tarvisio, take the motorway to Udine. Leave the motorway at the exit for Tolmezzo. Follow the signs for Austria and the Passo di Croce Carnico / Plockenpass. On the Italian side of the pass, park in a large parking lot.
Path description:
At the parking lot, take the narrow road marked Rifuggio Marinelli (route 146). After a few dozen metres, you will reach a crossroads where you turn right onto a military mulatier, which you then follow up through sparse woodland and meadows below the steep slopes of mountain Creta di Collinetta (2238m). The military mulatier becomes a track and soon you will reach a marked crossroads, where a path branches off to the right to Creta di Collinetta and Cresta Verde.
You can either turn right here towards Cresta Verde or continue left towards the Marinelli hut. If you continue to the left, the path initially crosses grassy slopes in a slight ascent and leads to a small plain. An unmarked path from mountain pasture Collinetta di Sotto joins from the left, and just after this we reach a marked crossroads.
To the left is route 146 towards the Marinelli hut, and this time we turn right on route 147 towards the Cresta Verde ridge. The gentle path first takes us over mountain pasture and then leads us under a steep rocky slope where we will also see some military ruins. The path here starts to climb steeply up the grassy slope and we also start to get better views of the surrounding peaks. The path climbs mostly in switchbacks and a little higher up, the aforementioned path joins from the right, branching off from the path to Creta di Collinetta.
The ascent continues along a mostly grassy slope until the Cresta Verde ridge, where you will again see a number of military ruins from the First World War along the way. The path from the top of Creta di Collinetta joins here on the right. We continue to the left along the grassy ridge which leads us below the eastern slopes of Creta di Collina. Here an unmarked path joins us from the Austrian side.
The trail then becomes more difficult and mostly runs on steep grassy slopes and occasionally some easy climbing is required. A little higher up, the path turns left and leads to slightly rockier terrain. The slope becomes a shade steeper and a short rope is helpful for the slightly more exposed traverse. The path then turns to the right and leads us along the ravine back to the grassy terrain where the steepness eases slightly. The path then turns to the left and leads us to the south-eastern slopes on which the ascent is no longer difficult. The path is slightly less visible here, but the markings (red dots) and cairns help us to find our way. The slope becomes rockier and rockier as we continue to climb towards the ridge. When you reach the ridge, which is precipitous on the north side, continue left and you will soon reach the summit.
From the top, continue along the initially exposed ridge, then the path turns slightly to the left and descends to a crossroads near the bivouac.
From the left, we join path 171, which we can later descend. At the crossroads we continue right along a wide ledge past the bivouac and some military ruins to a small notch. Here the path turns left and becomes more difficult. This is an old military trail, which has recently been re-equipped with steel cables. The trail continues along the south left side of the ridge, heading west. The path is quite exposed at times but is well protected by a steel cable on the more difficult parts. The route then passes the slightly less distinct Krone Peak (2744m) and approaches the ridge again. Along the way you will also see a natural window and some short military tunnels. Continue westwards on slightly exposed ledges, often climbing slightly steeper. In the last part of the climb, we first descend a little and then there is a final climb up a steep gully, which is well protected by a rope. At the top of the chute the path turns right and after a short climb you soon reach the scenic summit.
The route described to the top of Creta di Collina is not belayed and for the less experienced an additional belaying with a rope is recommended.
Descend back to the bivouac and then descend via route 171, which runs along the south side of the Creta di Collina. At a lower level, join the 146 route towards the Marinelli hut. The lower part of the trail is protected by a cable car. The 146 trail then returns to the starting point at the Plöckenpass.

Discussion about the trail Plöckenpass - Creta della Chianevate / Kellerspitzen (via Cresta Verde)

Lepa zanimiva tura a že kar precej let nazaj, kar smo šli. In imeli nismo ravno lepe razglede. Oblaki so zakrivali vrh. In megla ob sestopu. In spomnim, se , da smo srečali le enega gornika vso pot. Bivaka pa se ne spomnim , da bi bil . Morda še kdaj ?

Po tej poti sem šel julija in bivak ter varovala so bila čisto nova. Na nekaj mestih varovala še niso bila pritrjena v bivaku pa je bila še oprema in orodje za zavarovano pot.
