Start at the Crignes car park and take the asphalt road that runs uphill towards the like-named hamlet. Just a few hundred metres from Corso Italia, you will find yourself amidst extensive meadows with fine views over the town centre. When the road forks, keep left, and then take the next left, following the signs for Mortisa. Mortisa, or Mortija as it is known in the Ampezzo dialect, is a fascinating location with powerful ties to the past: grasslands, mountains, and a few traditional Ampezzo houses. Walk through the hamlet, and after the last houses you will find extensive pastures with views onto the mountains Cristallo, Sorapis and Antelao, and the start of a wide rough track, n° 428. Take the track that soon runs into the forest, where it remains a wide and easy path. The forest gradually becomes thicker, and you may see a number of wildlife species such as woodpeckers and squirrels. This forest is characteristic for its gigantic boulders that fell into it in distant epochs. Today, many of them have been colonized by trees or shrubs, and underneath there are some small caves. This area is famous for sport climbing and bouldering, and so it attracts many enthusiasts.
