Il Path equipped Astaldi walks through the base of the southern slope of Punta Anna, in the Tofane above Cortina d'Ampezzo. It is scenically remarkable, with modest technical difficulties and contained physical commitment, ideal for a half day; however, it should be carefully addressed for a couple of unprotected detritic canals.

Starting from the Rifugio Dibona (2083 m), reachable by road paved by the state road Cortina– Passo Falzarego (follow the signs for the Dibona, avoiding the junction for the Rifugio Duca d'Aosta). Open road signs on Google Maps. From the parking lot follow eastwards the sentiero 403 (towards the Giussani Refuge) along the valley between the south face of the Tofana of Rozes to the left and Punta Anna to the right; on the ascent there is a trail that leaves the mule track at a decisive turn left. Go up on detritic slope to a drainage and follow the trail towards the rocky bastion, where – to the right of an artificial foro in the rock – start the path equipped (45' from the Rifugio Dibona).

The trail crosses the colorful Formation of Raibl. You descend a few meters in a canal up to the first rope, which assists on the exposed nod; you continue alternating stretches wide and not protected at più points; tight. At a rocky roof the nod shrinks and in some places it is necessary to lower to pass below. You reach a canale which interrupts the path and goes up using the crossroads placed to make the bottom less slippery; it follows a più nod; exposed above the red stratifications. The passage più is attached to the edge; insidioso: a canal with an unstable, short and unequipped bottom, where è absolutely to avoid a slip. After a short traverse on brackets and another detritic canal, one enters the ' last section, on a più nod; large and largely unprotected; one descends one last stretch and reaches l' last stretch equipped, ending at the sentiero 421 Dibona–Pomedes (1h 15' from the shelter, attack).

Itinerary mainly in census, of difficultà modest; the critical points are the two non-protected detritic , from the bottom not entirely stable.
