The easy excursion proposed takes place entirely along a comfortable military mule track dating back to World War I, and allows you to visit most of the Canin karst plateau. An environment of great suggestion and interest, characterized on a surface level by the typical grooves, grooves, trays and sinkholes in the clear limestone rock, which give the landscape an almost lunar. The area is also very rich in caves, cavities, wells and tunnels, including the depths 'De Gasperi' and 'Zeppelin', which exceed 500 meters deep.
As with the whole area, remarkable are the remains of the military works carried out during the Great War. In addition, there are many fossils in the middle part of the route.
The excursion takes its steps from the well-known ski resort of Sella Nevea (altitude 1170 meters), reachable both from Tarvisio (19 km) and from Chiusaforte (always 19 kilometers).
From the wide pass we walk in a south-east direction, along the unmistakable military mule track (Poviz mule track) that climbs with comfortable bends in the woods. At an altitude of 1600-1700 meters, now beyond the forest limit, the mule track gradually bends to the left, along along along the undulating karst plateau in an east direction.
By faithfully following the track, with some ups and downs we take you to the base of the last steep stretch, which is overcome with some hairpin bends, finally reaching the Robon Sella, on the border with Slovenia: 1865 meters, 3 hours from Sella Nevea.
On the pass there are numerous remains of military works dating back to the Great War, testifying to the defensive importance of this site. The panorama also has a lot of satisfaction, being able to admire, among others, the group of Jof Fuart, the groove of Val Raccolana, Montasio, the various peaks of the Canin...
Near the pass is also the Modonutti — Savoia fixed shelter, used mainly for speleological purposes.
The return takes place along the same path as the climb and takes 2 hours.
