Our adventure begins at the entrance to the Val di Giàfwithin walking distance of Forni di Sopra. Backpacking on our shoulders, we will start walking along a path that will soon lead us to the Giàf Refuge, nestled in a beautiful alpine setting. Here we will take a break to enjoy a coffee, with the scent of the woods mingling with the intense aroma of the mountains.
Recharged, we set off along the picturesque Truoi from Sclops, the Sentiero delle Genziane, which winds its way uphill to the Forcella Urtisiel pass. Beyond the pass, a spectacular basin opens up before us. We will continue on, tackling the last efforts to reach Forcella Val di Brica, from which we will descend along the valley of the same name, crossing landscapes that enrapture the eye, until we reach Rifugio Pordenone. Stop for a packed lunch along the way. Dinner and overnight stay at the Pordenone Refuge.
Duration: 7-8 hours
Height difference: ↑1300 m ↓1100 m
After breakfast at the hut, we will collect our packed lunch and ascend the wild Val Montanaia. The destination is the Bivacco Perugini (Perugini Bivouac), which stands in front of one of the most famous symbols of the Friulian Dolomites: the Campanile di Val Montanaia, a stone column that defies the sky and tells thousands of years of geological history. We will stop here for a break, surrounded by a natural amphitheatre of extraordinary beauty.
A little further on, a short climb will lead us to the Montanaia Forkfrom which we will enjoy a view that opens up to new horizons. We will then begin our descent on the opposite slope, accompanied by breathtaking views, until we reach the Rifugio Padova. Stop for a packed lunch along the way. Dinner and overnight stay at the Pordenone Refuge.
Duration: 7-8 hours

After breakfast at the refuge, our last day at altitude will take us up the beautiful Val d'Aradedominated by imposing rock faces and majestic peaks. After gaining altitude, we will reach the Forcella Monfalcon of Forni, near which is the Marchi-Granzotto bivouac, set in an almost surreal, breathtaking scenery.
From here, we will begin our descent along the Forcella del Cason. An initial steeper section will lead us to gentler paths in the quiet of the forest until we reach the Rifugio Giaf, where we will all have lunch together and say goodbye, confident that we will meet again on the next trip.
