Varied terrain with great views. Only a short via ferrata section, so overall difficulty 3rd class with Aid C0 (for a short ladder).
For more detail, see the route "VF Nuvolau": http://mountainproject.com/route/115313059

Parking for Cinque Torri is at N46.5187, E12.0381 (approx). The top of the lift is at N46.5082, E12.0465 with snacks served, and that's where this route starts. First, head east 300m down toward Rifugio Cinque Torri. Soon take a sharp left at sign for trail 439. Over 2km of hiking generally SSE with some steep ups and downs. Next turn SW, then NW along a long/steep to VF Nuvolau (N46.4948, E12.0517) hardware not more than 40m / 150 ft. Then some navigation with cairns to a junction (N46.4936, E12.0484), turn Left to Ra Gusela summit (N46.4907, E12.0508) or continue straight to visible Rifugio Nuvolau hut.
