Carnic Traverse - Stage 1 of 11

Near the Waldkapelle you keep to the left, climbing logically and clearly up the dirt road that passes, at around 2020m altitude, below the M. Elmo ski lift (route always well marked by signs).

Reaching the top station of the lift and passing by the side of the Reinold Messner haus (keep to the right) the route is unambiguous and cuts across all the southern slopes of M. elmo reaching the Boundary Saddle a short distance from the hut. With a steeper uphill section (keep to the displuvial) you reach the Sillaner Hutte at M. Tovo Alto at 2447m.

From Friuli Venezia Giulia it is possible to reach S. Candido by passing through the M. Croce di Comelico Pass from the town of Padola.

The village of S. Candido is well connected by public transport (train, bus) from the main towns in the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, the nearby tourist centers of Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia, where there is a dedicated bus line with route Trieste - S. Candido.

At the edge of the historic center are two capacious municipal paid parking lots.
