Access to the starting point:
From Trbiz/Tarvisio, take the motorway to Udine/Vidmo. Leave the motorway at Carnico and first follow signs for Tolmezzo, then signs for Austria and the Pso di Croce Carnico Pass / 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 Cellon (route 146). After a few dozen metres, you will reach a junction where you turn right onto a military causeway and then climb through sparse woodland and meadows beneath the steep slopes of Cellon mountain. The military mulatier turns into a track and soon you reach a crossroads where you leave the path towards the Marinelli hut and head uphill to the right. Here the path begins to climb a little steeper over the grassy slopes and then leads to a crossroads. Bear left after the "Cellon" signs, and follow the more difficult paths to the right up the same mountain.
The trail continues ascending, crossing grassy slopes to the west for some time, and then begins to climb in switchbacks. This path then leads to a crossroads where a sign on a rock directs you to the lower right path and the path up to the left leads to Cresta Verde. The path then crosses steeper and steeper slopes to the east for a long time and then leads to a crossroads where the other two paths up the mountain join from the right. Here you will also see many remains from the First World War along the way. Then it's just a climb up a slightly less steep slope to the top.
