from Capanna Cima Comelle
Beautiful and short hike with which you reach a typical alpine chalet, on the watershed between the Val Garés and Valle di San Lucano. The place offers great views of the Pale di San Martino, the Pale di San Lucano and the Gruppo dell'Agner, and both ridges of the Val Garés, with Cimon de la Stia on one side and Monte Caoz and Cima Pape on the other.

and soon after you pass Forcella Cesurette and you reach your destination:
Same trail.
