The itinerary starts near Brite de Larieto. To reach the farm restaurant, drive along SR 48 to Passo tre Croci and, about 5 km from Cortina centre, turn left into a narrow road leading to the Brite.
Leave your car in the parking area before the pasturelands fencing, walk past the “gates” and take great care in closing them behind you so as to prevent cattle getting out.
Behind the farm restaurant, take the dirt road running uphill. Rather rough at the beginning, the road then continues along a level stretch and goes past a second gate which marks the border of the pasture lands. In about ten minutes, you reach the fork to Rifugio Mietres, visible a few hundred metres below.
If you feel like walking farther on, keep going along the level road skirting Mt Pomagagnon southern slopes. Return along the same way to descend to Rifugio Mietres and enjoy a well- deserved rest on its terrace where the spectacular view embraces all the valley below.
The way back is along the same route.
