The itinerary unfolds in an urban area without tactile foot markers.

The tour can take place at any time of the year.

It is recommended to start the itinerary from Piazza XX Settembre, Poffabro's main square (Photograph 1) where there are six parking spaces, one of which is reserved for people with disability, measuring 2.40 x 4.40 metres, which is clearly identified with horizontal and vertical markers. The paving of the square is in mixed stone (piasentina and porphyry) in irregular sections with large, cemented joints and different slope gradients.

Atternatively, the covered “Padre Mauro d'Aviano“ smooth concrete multi-storey car park can be used (Photograph 2). Here there is a parking space reserved for people with disability measuring 4.90 x 3.00 metres, marked by horizontal markings on the ground, but without vertical signage. From the covered multi-storey car park, the following are present: a driveway ramp, with a slope of 18%, leading to the upper level (car park roof), with no separation and/or indication for the pedestrian itinerary; a staircase with handrail leading to Piazza XX Settembre.

The former Cheese Factory, which now serves as the Infopoint - Poffabro Visitor Centre, is located in the centre of the square and is accessible using a ramp with a 7% slope, made of piasentina stone, uniform surface, 1.50 metres in width and 2.00 metres in length (Photographs 3 and 4). The Infopoint's areas are spacious and the flooring is made of uniform piasentina stone. A lift leads to the upper floor, with hardwood flooring, where there is a sanitary facility accessible to people with mobility disabilities. The Infopoint provides materials on the village of Poffabro (information pamphlet) and the Friulian Dolomites Natural Park. Please check the opening days and times.

Continuing to the left, there is the Church dedicated to Saint Nicholas. To reach the Church from the visitors' centre, it is necessary to cross the square (stone slab surface) and continue in front of the main entrance steps (porphyry slab surface similar to the car park in the square) and immediately take the uphill ramp to the right to access the side entrance. The ramp is 3.20 metres in width and 15 metres in length, divided into two sections: the first section with a 13% slope and the second section with an 8.5% slope (Photograph 5), and it does not have a handrail. The side entrance to the Church is accessible by means of an additional ramp, made of stone, without colour contrast, with a uniform surface measuring 1.50 metres in width and a slope of 8%, which allows the existing step of 18 centimetres to be bridged (Photograph 6). The main entrance to the Church has a flight of 6 steps ( Photograph 7). 

Leaving the Visitors' Centre and continuing to the right (Photograph 8), past the square and approximately ten metres along the road (where there is no pavement), which is paved in stone with wide cemented joints and an average slope of 13%, is where Le Monde Café is located. To access the drinking area outside the café, it is necessary to overcome a step measuring 14 centimetres in height and to enter the premises, it is necessary to overcome another step measuring 9 centimetres.

Please note that the itinerary for visiting the village consists of a tour of the village itself with access to the inner courtyards. This is achieved by climbing steps or steep slopes that are difficult to travel with ease for people with mobility disabilities or people who are also senior citizens.

The tour of the village continues uphill along via Antonio Villanova (visitors encounter a crossroads between Via Villanova and Via Voul), the surface is stone, as described previously, with an average slope of 13%. The road features widening and narrowing, depending on the conformation of the buildings. The narrowest point that was surveyed measures 2.20 metres. Subsequently, there is a section with a constant slope of 11% and another with a slope of 16%. Moving forward, there is a small square that leads to the right along Via Fisar, which is first a flat section (stone paving as described previously) followed by significant downhill sections. Opposite, however, is a building with an arched portico that introduces, along an uphill stretch, the group of internal courtyards of Via Giacomelli.

Continuing along Via Villanova at street number 14, an exhibition of Scarpeti handicrafts is located; here too, the itinerary proceeds using an uphill entrance hall that opens up to an inner courtyard framed by two blocks of houses, one of which, on the ground floor, houses the handicraft exhibition. The itinerary has a 20% slope.

Shortly afterwards is the intersection of Via Taviele and Via Di Caterina and a votive altarpiece dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Via Taviele begins with an uphill itinerary with a constant slope, while Via Di Caterina begins with a flight of steps. Shortly afterwards, Via Voul begins with a downhill ramp with a slope of 13% and a width of the road, paved as previously described, of 2.00 metres (Photograph 9).

Continuing along the itinerary, visitors arrive at a small square with a wooden bench and fountain, formed by the intersection with Via Bertoli, the latter consisting of a flight of uphill steps. The end of Via Voul coincides with the beginning of Via Villanova (Photograph 10).
