Access to starting point:
From Nova Gorica, we drive into Italy and continue on the highway to the town of Portogruaro, where at the highway junction we turn in the direction of the town of Belluno. We follow the highway to the exit for Belluno, but after the town of Belluno we follow the road in the direction of the town of Feltre and then towards the town of Transacqua and the mountain pass Passo Rolle. A little before the mountain pass, we will notice a larger parking lot on the right side of the road at the mountain pasture Malga Fosse, where we park.
Route description:
From the starting point on the mountain pasture Malga Fosse we continue towards the southeast following the signs »Rifugio Rosetta, Col Verde«. The path at the beginning slightly descends on grassy slopes, then mostly in a gentle ascent crosses the slopes below the summit Cimon della Pala. The path named Sentiero dei Finanzieri later ascends somewhat more steeply and brings us to flatter grassy slopes.
The path further starts to descend slightly and brings us to a marked junction. Right downwards leads the path towards the ski area Col Verde, straight ahead leads the path towards the hut Rosetta, and we turn left upwards following the signs »Via Ferrata Bolver – Lugli«.
From the junction first follows a short ascent on a mostly grassy slope, which brings us to the entrance into the wall.
In the initial part, the path is not secured and therefore more caution is needed (climbing grade 1-2). The path, marked with red dots, ascends quite steeply several times, but only on the shorter somewhat more exposed section is it secured with a steel cable.
Higher, the path brings us to the beginning of the secured path named Via Ferrata Bolver Lugli. The wall becomes even steeper, and the path from here on is continuously well secured. At the very beginning, the secured path ascends a steep gully left upwards, then the path slowly turns to the right. The path further ascends almost vertically several times along the steel cable, so some strength in the arms is also needed. In the last part, the climbing path runs left of a steep gully and is even somewhat more exposed. When we reach the top of the wall, we continue left and after a short ascent along the ridge we reach flatter slopes where the secured path ends.
The path further turns slightly to the right and after a short undemanding crossing brings us to the bivouac Fiamme Gialle.
From the bivouac we continue towards the northeast and descend to the saddle Passo del Travignolo where the path from the valley Valle dei Cantoni joins us from the right. At the saddle we continue straight following the signs Cima Vezzana and begin to ascend quite steep scree upwards. The path then turns to the right and brings us to a smaller saddle below the summit Il Nuvolo.
Left leads a marked path towards the summit Cima Vezzana, and at the mentioned saddle we turn right towards the summit Il Nuvolo. A poorly visible trail marked with cairns quickly brings us along the ridge to the summit.
