WARNINGS
From Cima Sappada, take provincial road no. 22 for 8 kilometers to the large parking lot at the junction for Rifugio Calvi. Follow the white dirt road up to the refuge to the first hairpin bend, where a sign with the inscription “fortini del monte Chiadenis” indicates a right (east) deviation along an almost flat path that soon reaches the first fort, then continues along a calm and pleasant route to the second, where the large informational panels are located.
Route B
From Cima Sappada, continue along provincial road no. 22 for 7 kilometers up to the obvious junction on the right with signs for the Casa Vecchia dairy. Leave the car here and continue along the white dirt road towards Passo Avanza. Before reaching it, at a large typical horseshoe curve, climb straight north for about fifty meters across the meadows, aiming at two large boulders (there is a rather faded white and red trail marker on the second). Here, the path crosses a wide mule track that slowly traverses the slope along the flat terrain of a scattered forest. After a sharp curve, the path starts to climb but is soon left, next to a large panel with information on the Great War, where, to the left, a wide path leads to the first fort and then the second.
The return can be made either along the same route or with a variant.

Giovanni Borella born in Belluno, lived there until the threshold of adolescence. He later moved to Padua, where he still resides, attending the local University and earning a degree in Ancient Literature which led him to teach for a few decades. A hiker first, then an alpinist, he has completed numerous ascents both in the most renowned Dolomite groups and especially on the mountains of Sappada, which he frequents for many years both in summer and winter and where he has also opened new routes and repeated others solo. He has published three guides: "On the paths of the sun" Mediterranee ed. 1995 as co-author, "Sappada, from the paths to the peaks" Co.El. publishing house 2002, "Dolomites of Comelico" Linteditoriale 2010.
