The hike starts from the parking at the lower edge of the Montasio plateau and climbs through meadows dotted with many mountain huts. After passing near Rif. Di Brazzà the ascent becomes steeper and goes extensively along the ledges of the chain of peaks above the plateau. The views over Val Raccolana and the Canin group are magnificent and widen with altitude gain. The trail crosses green slopes where encounters with tame ibex are practically certain and aims at the upper notch between Cima di Terrarossa and Cima Gambon, at the outlet of the Huda Paliza channel. From the saddle, via rocks and clear tracks, the Cima di Terrarossa at 2349m is reached with spectacular views now also opening on the rear Jof Fuart group and the green Val Saisera. The descent follows the ascent route and, with suitable equipment, can be varied through the Leva and Ceria Merlone paths (reserved for adequately equipped experts).

Safety information

Due caution is required when passing below herds of ibex due to stones displaced by the animals that can become dangerous.

Roadbook

From the parking, signs lead toward the Di Brazzà hut which can be reached by following the service road or numerous shortcuts. From the hut, immediately to the north, the CAI 664 trail (sign present) ascends the meadows leading towards the mountain’s vertical cliffs, in the direction of the wide Forca deLis Sieris dominating from above.

The track climbs the ledges with a clear switchback path, gaining altitude with a NW orientation. After passing the intersection with the Leva trail, which comes from Forca del Palone, the Forca di Terrarossa is soon reached. From here, to the left, a clear track climbs the rocky terrain leading to Cima di Terrarossa.

The return follows the same route as the ascent.
