(S/E) The start is just before the barrier leading to the Cinque Torri refuge. Just before the barrier, take the path that climbs to the right until you reach a crossroads.
(1) Turn right onto trail no. 425 towards "Giro delle torri" until you reach the next crossroads.
(2) Leave the path on the left towards "Giro delle torri" and stay on path no. 425, which descends towards "Sentiero delle Trincee". A few metres further down, an intersection indicates "Bai des Dones" on the right. Leave this path and take the path on the left, which does not indicate any direction.
A little further on, you will find the trail number (425) again. This trail will lead you to the remains of the First World War and the conflict between Italian and Austro-Hungarian troops. After crossing an old trench, you will find yourself at a crossroads.
(3) The paths on the right lead you to discover old military barracks. The paths opposite take you closer to the Cinque Torri. This hike follows the path that takes you closer to the Cinque Torri. You can take whichever path you like, as long as you reach the Scoiattoli refuge and its ski lifts, which you can see a little further up on your right.
(4) From the refuge, take trail no. 439 towards "Rifugio Nuvolau". Follow the trail to the Averau refuge nestled in a pass (you will see a small white building from the trail; this is the building you need to head for).
Turn right in front of the Averau refuge and follow the directional signs.
(5) Then take the path on the left towards Passo Falzarego and Rifugio Col Gallina. The path runs along the cliff until it reaches a place called Forcella Averau.
(6) Continue on trail no. 419 to the right towards Rifugio Col Gallina. The trail, which is quite rocky, descends for 1.5 km until it reaches Lake Limides.
(7) At the end of the lake, take the path furthest to the right. A few metres further on, you will come to a signpost inviting you to continue straight on towards Passo Falzarego until you reach another crossroads 700m further down.
(8) At the crossroads, take the path on the right, numbered 424, towards Pian Dei Menìs. The path continues through the woods and then opens out onto a field. Continue along the path until you reach the next intersection, where you will see signposts attached to a tree.
(9) Follow trail no. 440, which branches off to the right towards Rifugio Nivolau and climbs through the forest and then into open terrain. The Cinque Torri will eventually come into view on your left. After more than 2 km, the trail reaches an intersection.
(10) Take trail no. 439 towards Rif. Cinque Torri and follow it until you reach the refuge (S/E).
