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. Shortly before the pass, we will see a large parking lot on the right-hand side of the road at mountain pasture Malga Fosse, where we park.
Path description:
From the starting point at mountain pasture Malga Fosse continue south-eastwards following the signs "Rifugio Rosetta, Col Verde". The path descends gently on grassy slopes at the start, then crosses the slopes below the summit of Cimon della Pala, mostly in a gentle ascent. The path called Sentiero dei Finanzieri then climbs slightly steeper and leads to flatter grassy slopes.
The path then begins to descend gently and leads to a marked crossroads. To the right the path leads down to the Col Verde ski resort, up to the left is the start of the Via Ferrata Bolver Lugli climbing route, and we continue straight on following the signs 'Rif. Rosetta".
The trail continues for some time, crossing the slopes below the Croda della Pala summit walls, and then leads us back to the marked crossroads. The path to the right leads down towards San Martino, and we continue straight on following the signs "Rif. Rosetta". After a short crossing, the path leads us back to the signs along the way. Here another path from San Martino joins from the right, and a less visible path branches off to the left uphill, leading directly towards the Passo Bettega saddle.
At the crossroads we continue straight on towards the Rosetta hut. The path then soon turns to the right and crosses the slope below the gondola lift. The path then climbs a little steeper and is slightly exposed in places. 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 saddle Passo di Rosetta where there is also a marked crossroads.
To the left is a few minutes' easy walk to the Rosetta hut, and we continue to the right towards the top station of the gondola and the summit 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.
