    Safety information

    1) Prepare your itinerary

    2) Choose a route that is suitable for your skill level

    3) Choose suitable equipment and gear

    4) Consult the snow/weather bulletins

    5) Heading out on your own is more risky

    6) Leave information on your itinerary and on the approximate time you expect to return

    7) Do not hesitate to seek the support of a professional

    8) Pay attention to the information and signs that you find along the trail

    9) Do not hesitate to follow your steps backwards

    10) In case of an accident, sound the alarm by calling the emergency number 112.

    Please note that the practicability of the itineraries in a mountain environment is strictly linked to the contingent conditions and is therefore influenced by natural phenomena, environmental changes and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this page may have changed. Before leaving for a tour, make sure the path you will approach is still accessible by contacting the owner of the mountain hut, the alpine guides or the visitor centres of the nature parks, the info offices of the local tourist board.

    The section between Sella del Fridolin and Rifugio Casinei can be particularly slippery in wet conditions.

    Roadbook

    The route begins in Vallesinella, at the mountain hut of the same name. You take trail 317, which passes a wooded section partially characterised by roots and stairs. After walking for about 45 minutes, you reach Rifugio Casinei (1825 m). After a necessary break, you continue, taking trail 318 with directions for Rif. Brentei. The path begins to climb above the vegetation and follows a diagonal route leading to the “Valle del Fridolin” fork (2043 m).

    You continue to follow trail 318, with directions for “Rifugio Brentei”. You walk on “Sentiero Bogani” (still marked 318), which continues on a slight downhill slop, and then a few alternating uphill/downhill sections. In this part, the path is partially dug out of the rock, with a few walkways and tunnels: truly picturesque. The path then climbs once again and, passing beneath the incredible western cliffs of the “Punte di Campiglio”, you reach a panoramic ledge located on the river’s right of Val Brenta Alta, where Rifugio Maria e Alberto ai Brentei is located. The mountain hut is very pretty, and panoramic: the scenario is fairytale-worthy, dominated by the immense east face of the Crozzon di Brenta, and the massive Cima Tosa, the most important peak in the Group, together with Cima Brenta.

    You return along the same route.

    Buongiorno Cristian, si tratta di un cordino di ferro ausiliare in corrispondenza di tratti particolarmente esposti, normalmente non considerato come una ferrata e quindi non percorribile necessariamente con l'imbragatura. L'imbragatura tuttavia può essere utilizzata se si soffre di vertigini o se si ritiene più utile per la sicurezza personale. Cordiali Saluti
