Access to the starting point:
From Nova Gorica, drive into Itali and follow the motorway to Portogruaro, where you will take the motorway fork towards Belluno. Follow the motorway to the exit for Belluno, and after Belluno we follow the road towards Feltre and then towards Transacqua and the Passo Rolle pass. The ascending road then takes us through San Martino. From the signpost marking the end of San Martino, continue for about 1km and you will see a small parking lot on the left hand side of the road.
Path description:
At the starting point, you will see a signpost on the right hand side of the road, directing you to the right on the footpath towards mountain pasture Malga Pala. The path leads quickly into the forest through which it then climbs gently for some time. Later the path turns right and after a short climb leads to a marked crossroads.
To the left, the path leads to the Passo Rolle pass, and we continue to the right towards mountain pasture Malga Pala. The path then crosses the slopes to the south-east and the path opens up to beautiful views of San Martino and the surrounding peaks. The trail then turns slightly to the left and starts to climb slightly steeper in keys through the forest. Later, the path becomes a little less steep and continues through the forest. This path then leads us to a crossroads just before mountain pasture, where we are joined on the right by a path from a slightly lower starting point in San Martino. From the crossroads it is then only a short climb to the hut at mountain pasture Malga Pala.
At mountain pasture, continue to the right along a sloping road which soon leads to the ski slopes. Here, continue slightly left and there is a short climb up to the Colverde hut where the cable car stops.
At the hut where there is a crossroads, follow the signs "Rif. Rosetta", and up to the left is the Via Ferrata Bolver Lugli climbing route. The route first leads through a short and sparse lane of a forest, and then the increasingly scenic route climbs for some time in switchbacks on the slopes below the peaks of Croda della Pala and Cima Corona.
Higher up, as the path from Passo Rolle joins us on the left, our route turns slightly to the right and crosses the slope below the gondola lift. The path then starts to climb again a little more steeply, and in a few places it is also slightly exposed. The ascent is not particularly difficult, however, as the path is very well protected, with fences in exposed places. Most of the ascent is in switchbacks, and the path offers a good view of the nearby Rosetta Peak and the other peaks above the Val Cismon. Higher up, the path turns left to the north-east and becomes progressively less steep. This path then leads to the Passo di Rosetta saddle where there is also a marked crossroads.
It's just a few minutes' easy walk to the Rosetta hut on the left, and we continue to the right towards the top station of the gondola and the top of Rosetta. From the saddle, the wide path starts to climb up a relatively gentle rocky slope and soon we reach the top station of the cable car.
Here, continue slightly left and continue climbing along a very scenic path towards the summit. There is a well-trodden path marked with a number of cairns. As you approach the ridge, the path turns right and there is a short, slightly steeper climb to the summit.
