Crostis vistas, by ridges in the presence of the Coglians

Track types

Safety information

From the dirt road onward, up to the saddle between Crostis and Pezzacul, the route follows paths and tracks that are often heavily overgrown and poorly marked; for this reason, it is advisable to do this hike in spring and autumn when the vegetation is less developed.

It is possible to return to the overview of the peaks at the southern ridge of Pezzacul, toward the Crostis malga, using the obvious military mule track after the junction with CAI 153.

There is only one drinking fountain along the first part of the trail; equip yourself with adequate water supplies.

Avoid the hike in foggy weather: only the direct Chiadinas - Crostis trail is easy to spot in this respect.

Directions

The Chiadinas refuge, near which is the parking lot that concurs with the starting and ending point of the itinerary, can be reached by climbing from the village of Comeglians, in the valley bottom of the Degano Valley, through the hamlets of Mieli and Tualis. The signs for the Panoramica delle Vette are numerous and should be followed until the road ends near the refuge. The road is steep and, in some places, without protection: it requires good driving on this type of road.

From the saddle of Valcalda, near Ravascletto, follow the road that drops off toward the mountain at the junction at the village entrance; again, signs are present. The ascent from this side involves traveling about 7 final km on a flat dirt road.

Parking

Evident parking near the Chiadinas refuge signs.
