Challenging hike to Mount Ciavac surrounded by the unspoiled nature of the Friulian Dolomites Park.
From the square in Andreis, head toward the Visitor Center, pass it and continue along Via dell'Acquedotto. Leaving the village, after a short descent, near a small bridge you leave the paved road to take, on the right, a dirt road. This climbs over a hump(Col de Crous) and then descends to the Ledron stream bed (Placia del Ledròn).
The trail goes up the stream (3 fords) for about 750 meters and then takes a right (signpost) onto a wooded slope with a predominance of black pine (Plan Davour). It climbs steeply through the forest and reaches a narrow fork(Pala de le Pittes), the highest point of the trail (760m asl). From the fork, the trail descends to the valley of the Susaibes stream by initially traversing a gully a narrow gully, and then crossing sparse brush and a scree slope that ends near the stream bed. There is the Aga dal muscle, a spring partially covered with moss and which local tradition dictates is drinkable only where the water flows directly over the stones. Continue downstream along the stream for about 500 meters (2 concrete weirs) in a very impressive rocky scenery.
The trail leaves the gravel bed by climbing to the right near an old furnace and reaching the hamlet of Sott'Anzas. From here, continue uphill on a path above some houses and, having reached a road, continue downhill until reaching the village of Andreis.

There are no support and refreshment points along the route, so equip yourself with adequate water supplies before embarking on the route.
Mont Ciavac is a hill overlooking Andreis and anticipates the steep slopes and walls of the Mount Raut massif. The route around and up it allows you to immerse yourself in the environmental context of the Periadriatic Overthrust (Barcis-Staro Selo Line), a sharp fracture line that highlights the intense tectonic action of the area.
