Note: The tours which we are offering have been chosen among the most beautiful and most famous ones in
the respective areas. Partially the trails are crossing glaciers or sometimes "airy" paths which are
equipped with iron ropes. The guidance by a mountain guide is indispensable, unless you have great high mountain
experience and complete command of rope maneuvers which are necessary for the crossing of glaciers (for example
rescue maneuvers from glacier crevasses, knot system for a rope team) as well as the correct use of the technical
equipment on the VIE FERRATE (iron/ladder paths). The security of the participants is top priority for the
mountain guide. He will teach the participants alpine techniques and demonstrate how to handle possible perils
in the mountains in a proper way.

Description: Tour in particularly scenic landscape against a great historical background. Departing from Rovereto with our mini-van we are heading towards Vicenza. We will reach the starting point of our tour, "Passo Pian delle Fugazze", after about 45 min. Our first mountain top is MOUNT CORNETTO (1.900 m). Itinerary: following the paths which have been constructed by the soldiers during World War I, sometimes on crests, partially rather "airy" passages equipped with iron ropes. The ascent to BAFFELAN PEAK is optional (some easy climbing is involved to reach the top). On our descent we will pass the mountain lodge "Passo di Campogrosso" where we can have a snack. The way back to our mini-van is on a very comfortable path. This tour is very often being compared to the vie ferrate in the BRENTA Dolomites but - from an alpinstic point of view - it is much more difficult. Excellent training for high-alpine tours with wonderful panorama; with good weather it even possible to see Venice and the Adriatic Sea. Back to Rovereto and/or your hotel. |
