Rifugio Gilberti - Speleological bivouac Modonutti - Savoia

Access to the starting point:
From Kranjska Gora, drive through the Rateče border crossing to Trbiž / Tarvisio. In Trbiz, turn left towards Bovec and follow the road to the crossroads near Lake Rabelj. Here, turn right towards the Medvejski Prevala / Sella Nevea. Follow this road, which climbs for the most part, until you reach a large parking lot at the bottom station of the cable car leading to the Gilberti hut.
Then buy a ticket and take the cable car to the top station.
From Bovec, drive to the Predel border crossing, from which you descend to the Italian side. Just after Lake Rabelj, you will reach a crossroads where you turn left towards the Neveje Pass / Sella Nevea. Continue as described above.

Path description:
From the Gilberti hut, walk to the nearby chapel and then continue east. First descend the transport-rescue road, then, when it turns left, continue straight ahead towards the Nevea Pass / Sella Nevea and the Vrh Laških brežičev / Sella Robon saddle. The route continues eastwards across the slopes without any significant change in altitude. After about 30 minutes' walk from the Gilberti hut, you will reach a marked crossroads where the path to the Nevea Pass branches off to the left downhill.
Continue straight ahead along the increasingly scenic path, which quickly leads to the next crossroads. Again, continue straight on along the path in the direction of "Sella Robon" (to the right, slightly up the Prevala).
The path, which is still relatively steep, continues across a vast plateau-like karst world, through which we are guided by an excellently preserved mulatier. This is followed by about 20 minutes of easy walking along the path, from which we have beautiful views of Jôf di Montasio and the Viš group on the left, and to the right towards Lopa, Hudemu vršič and later on the Velika Črnelska Špica. After a while, the path leads us to an inexpressible preval, from which the path begins to descend for a long time. After the descent is complete, we are lower by 150 vertical metres, and the path leads us to the edge of the high mountain cirque, where we are joined on the left by another path from the Nevejski Prevala.
The path continues to climb moderately and, in a few serpentines, leads us to the Vrh Laških brežičev lookout saddle (after the Italian Sella Robon), where there is an information board and, next to it, a table with two benches.
At the saddle, continue left (straight ahead Jerebica for 6 hours) and continue the ascent along a well-traced but unmarked path. The trail then crosses over a rather steep slope, then flattens out and leads to a number of military fortifications. These fortifications are bypassed on the left by a wide artificial ledge, and then there is only a short climb to reach the Modonutti-Savoia cave bivouac.
