A circular route that passes the Lavaredo refuge and the north face of Monte Paterno (CAI no. 101), offering a splendid view of the north faces of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. The route continues towards the Piani lakes near the Locatelli refuge and reaches the Pian di Cengia refuge with a steep climb.
