"It is probably the most rewarding route [on the Presanella] for the classic mountaineer, for those who love the high mountains, the rugged environment, the classic mixed terrain where crampons are hardly taken off, and the breathtaking view." There is little to add to this characterization by a local mountain guide. The route is (inexplicably) little frequented and leads over an impressive glacier and a beautiful granite ridge to the highest peak entirely located in Trentino.
With the northeast ridge and the descent via the normal route to Rifugio Denza - as described here - or to Rifugio Segantini, it creates an impressive circular tour.
(Attention: the indicated track is only schematic!!!)
Note April 2024: As I just saw in a photo from autumn 2023 that the upper glacier towards Sella Freshfield and the connection to the lower part is broken, please ask the hut warden about the current access! I would appreciate current route reports.

This stage is particularly remarkable, both for the challenge it poses and for the majestic views on offer. It’s not to be underestimated, but your efforts will be richly rewarded. If you only take one picture today, make it of Monte Carè Alto.
