Access to the starting point:
Via Border crossing Rateče, take the road to Trbiž / Tarvisio, where you take the motorway towards Udine. Leave the motorway at the exit for Tolmezzo and follow the road to the above-mentioned place. From Tolmezzo, continue in the direction of Ampezzo and the Passo della Mauria mountain pass. The road then begins to descend and leads into the Cadore valley, where you continue to the right (Belluno and Cortina d'Ampezzo on the left) in the direction of Auronzo. After a few more km of driving, you reach the next major crossroads, where you turn right towards Misurina (left Tre Croci Pass). From here, follow the road down to a major crossroads, where you turn left towards Cortina d'Ampezzo (right Austria). From this crossroads, you continue for about 10 km towards Cortina d'Ampezzo, and then, at a sharp left turn, you turn right onto the road towards the Rifugio Ra Stua hut. Follow the narrow asphalted road until you reach the large parking lot at the hut.
Path description:
From the Rifugio Ra Stua hut, continue along the macadam road, which is closed to traffic. Right at the start, a footpath branches off to the right towards the Forcella Lerosa and the Gotres valley. A little later, a path branches off to the right towards the Valbones valley and the Helbig Dall'Oglio bivouac.
We continue along the gravel road, which continues for a while along the pastureland, and then leads into the woods. We continue through the woods along the Boite stream for a while, and then come back to the grassy slopes where there is a crossroads.
A road branches off to the left towards the Rifugio Fodara Vedla hut, and we continue straight ahead on a dirt road towards the Rifugio Sennes hut. After a few dozen metres we reach another crossroads. This time, the footpath to the right branches off towards Lago di Foses and hut Rifugio Biella (Seekofelhütte).
This time we continue along the road that runs through the Val Salata valley and starts to climb a little steeper. Later, the road turns slightly to the left and a footpath branches off straight ahead, rejoining the road later. Higher up, the trees become scarcer and scarcer, and the road increasingly offers beautiful views of the nearby peaks, where Croda Rossa stands out in particular. Later, the road crosses a barrier and leads out of the Dolomites d'Ampezzo Nature Park into the Fanes Sennes Braies Nature Park.
A road soon branches off to the left towards the Rifugio Pederü hut, and we continue straight on along the dirt road towards the Rifugio Sennes hut. After a short climb, the road brings us to another crossroads. This time, the road branches off to the right towards the Rifugio Biella hut, and we continue straight ahead again. The road then becomes more level and soon leads us along grassy slopes to the Rifugio Sennes hut.
