Tips and suggestions
Meteo TrentinoRoadbook
Here begins the part of the trail dedicated to Arturo Castelli, that ends to the Bocchetta Bassa degli Sfulmini. Climb up the flanks of Campanill Bas to reach the Bocchetta del Campanile Alto and the small Sentinella plateau. From here, continue to the Bocchetta Bassa degli Sfulmini.
Here the section of the Bocchette named after Carla Benini de Stanchina begins. From the ledge carved into the rock, remaining on the eastern side, the Torri degli Sfulmini are crossed up to the Bocchetta Alta degli Sfulmini, where the Figari Trail begins. The Torre di Brenta is bypassed from the south-east, on terraces excavated in the rock (this is perhaps the most adrenaline-filled stretch of the via ferrata). You then reach the characteristic rocks that tower over the Bocca Armi.
You descend through a series of metal stairs alternating with a sling. In about 30 minutes you reach Rifugio Alimonta, by going down the Vedretta degli Armi.
There are two routes you could take back to Molveno:
- go down to the Brentei hut and from there go up to the Bocca di Brenta and then the Pedrotti hut.
- take the via ferrata Felice Spellini, returning to the Pedrotti hut.
