From Colmean (1274 m), follow signs to Rifugio Cacciatori (1745 m). Just behind the hut, a sign indicates the route to Cima d'Auta. The trail is well marked and climbs steeply through scree. At a fork (signed), follow the left fork marked "Via Ferrata". Climb a rocky and grassy slope, then after a long traverse beneath rock walls, reach the base of the ferrata (iron plaque and ladder).

The ferrata climb, not very scenic, is long. The trail, like the first ferrata section, climbs scree. The upper part of the descent, equipped only in places, is steep and exposed. The charm of this outing lies in its remoteness and rarely travelled nature. As a climbing route, it's only recommended with caution. But for those who love long and demanding hikes leading to an excellent summit—this is the right place!

Well-equipped with steel cables, rungs, and a few ladders. Only short steep sections at the lower part. Up to the Forcella di Medil, the trail runs along a rubble-filled gully. Watch out for falling rocks! Short exposed sections at the upper wall, not particularly steep, but requiring confident footing.

From the summit, descend to the saddle (sign "Via normale") and follow cables along the north ridge down a steep rocky slope and meadow. The path continues (partially marked in red) down a gully to a heli-pad (H) and a meadow. Follow signs left across grassy and rocky terrain to rejoin the ascent trail back to the start.
