Access to the starting point:
a) From Kranjska Gora via the Koren saddle to Austria, where at the first major junction continue left towards Podkloštro / Arnoldstein and Trbiz / Tarvisio. At the end of Podklošter, signs for Šmohor / Hermagor direct you to the right on the regional road, which takes you past the town to the end of the Ziljska Valley, or more precisely to Kötschach-Mauthen, where you turn right towards Oberdrauburg. The road continues over the Gailbergsattel Alpine pass (982 m), after which you descend into the above-mentioned town. After crossing a bridge over the River Drava, turn left towards Lienz. At the main roundabout in Lienz, turn left towards Sillian and Itali. Next we cross the national border between Austria and Itali, and we follow the main road past Dobbiaco / Toblach, Villabassa / Niederdorf, Monguelfo - Tesido / Welsberg - Taisten, Brunico / Bruneck. Just after the last mentioned town, which is passed by a bypass road, we turn left into the Val Badia valley. Continue along the valley and turn left at Longega towards San Vigilio. In San Vigilio, turn left at the crossroads after the "Pederü" signs. After about 200 metres, turn right, also after the 'Pederü' signs. Follow this road until you reach the large parking lot in front of the Rifugio Pederü.
b) From Nova Gorica, exit into Itali and follow the motorway to Venice/Venezia. At Portogruaro, leave the motorway towards Venice and turn right on the motorway towards Pordenone. At the next motorway junction near Conegliano, turn right towards Belluno. The motorway ends near Belluno and we continue towards Cortina d'Ampezzo at the next junctions. When you arrive in Cortina d'Ampezzo, follow the signs for the Passo Falzarego Alpine pass. At the Passo Falzarego (2105 m), turn right towards the Valparola Pass and continue towards Alta Badia. At La Villa turn right towards Brunico. Follow the road to Longega and turn right towards San Vigilio. In San Vigilio, turn left at the crossroads after the "Pederü" signs. After about 200 metres, turn right, also after the "Pederü" signs. Follow this road until you reach the large parking lot in front of the Rifugio Pederü.
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue to the crossroads behind the cottage. Signposts point slightly right on the footpath towards the Lavarela and Fanes huts, while the path to the left leads to the Fodara Vedla hut. The level path first crosses a stream and a road, then begins a slightly steeper climb through dwarf pines. After an initial slightly steeper section, the path becomes flatter further on, and also descends slightly for a short section. The path briefly joins the road a few times, and then rejoins the road, passing mainly through dwarf pines on the right side of the valley.
The path then turns slightly to the right and the views of the surrounding peaks start to open up. Later, we rejoin the mountain road, which runs along the Rü dal Plan stream. The road then climbs gently and leads to a crossroads.
The road to the left leads to the Rifugio Fanes hut (5 minutes) and we continue to the right towards the Rifugio Lavarela hut. The road continues along the stream and pasture and soon leads to the hut.
At the hut, continue to the right and after a short climb up a grassy slope you will reach a crossroads. To the left is route 12 towards the Ju dla Crusc saddle and the Forcela de Medesc, and we continue to the right on route 13 towards the Ju de Sant Antone saddle.
From the crossroads, the path continues to climb the grassy slope to the north and soon leads to another crossroads. Trail No 7 branches off to the left towards the Ju dla Crusc and Forcela de Medesc saddles, and we continue to the right again towards saddle Ju de Sant Antone. We continue northwards for some time on fairly gentle grassy slopes. The scenic route then approaches a fence for the cattle that graze here in the summer months. Later on, the path crosses the fence and leads to the scree on the south-west side of the summit of Piz Sant Antone. The path then crosses the scree on the ascent to the Ju de Sant Antone saddle, where there is also a chapel dedicated to St Anthony. The chapel can also serve as an emergency shelter in case of bad weather.
At the saddle where the crossroads are, turn right and head east on an unmarked but fairly well-trodden track. A path leads to the left towards the Cima Nove summit (Neunerspitze) and straight down the Val de Fanes towards La Valle. From the saddle, you initially climb up a relatively steep slope, which also has some rubble, so some caution is needed in this part. The path then leads to a less steep grassy slope along the ridge. Walk for a short time on this grassy slope and then follow the cross-climb up the slightly steeper southern slopes. The path here is well trodden and the climb is not difficult. This path then goes all the way up to the lookout peak on which the cross stands.
Let's go down the ascent route.
