This hut-to-hut circuit crosses the Brenta massif, starting and finishing at Residence Ambiez in Madonna di Campiglio. The described stages link XII Apostoli, Tosa Pedrotti, Alimonta and Tuckett e Sella using routes such as Bocchette Centrali, Oliva Detassis, Bocchette Alte and Benini. It is distinct from vehicle-supported trips in other Dolomite areas: this proposal progresses between huts over five activity days, plus two travel days.
The Brenta traverse connects via ferratas through a hut-to-hut journey. Your backpack and fitness need to suit consecutive high mountain days with the programme’s elevation changes and terrain. Agreeing on stages, accommodation terms and the meeting in Madonna di Campiglio helps organise travel. Describe your hiking experience and comfort with heights to assess the circular itinerary’s ferratas.
The via ferrata activity is led by a high mountain guide.
The advertised physical and technical level is moderate. Requirements describe 6–17 km stages with 700–1,300 metres of ascent, plus the descent, on paths that may be rough or poorly marked.
