Cima Ombladet – Collinetta-Trail

Cima Ombladet (Collina-Trail)

The Cima Ombladet has been fortified with countless paths and structures due to its historical significance in the First World War and today offers countless trail descents. One of these is the impressive Alpini trail down to Collinetta.

Description

The route starts in the village of Forni Avoltri. From here, you wind your way uphill on asphalt along the main road towards Frassenetto at a moderate gradient. In Frassenetto, at just under 1100 meters above sea level, you change to a forest road and follow it uphill to around 1600 meters above sea level. A magnificent view of the surrounding mountains opens up in a somewhat sleepy area. The view of the Belluno Dolomites makes up for the climb so far. The route continues relatively well uphill to the Casera Monte dei Buoi. From this point, you are above the tree line and push or carry your bike up to the summit of Cima Ombladet (2255 meters above sea level). A few fragments from the First World War can still be found at the summit. Beyond that, the panorama is deluxe. Lake Wolay is within reach, to the north you have a view of the entire Carnic main ridge, and to the south of the Tagliamento, Tolmezzo and the Mediterranean. In autumn and spring in particular, you can also see as far as the Grossglockner to the north.

The descent from the summit runs directly along the ridge before continuing on Sentiero 169 towards Forcella Ombladet. Up to here, the difficulty is classified as S2, reaching S3 level in places. There is an old Alpini path directly on the ridge. This is now taken and opens up the route to Collinetta. At difficulty level S2, countless hairpin bends are mastered and a fantastic forest descent is completed below the vegetation line. Once in the village, the transfer to Sigilletto is used to reach the final trail in Forni Avoltri.
