PRESANELLA GLACIER

An excellent physical condition is a prerequisite for the participation. A quick apprehension and/or the capability (to learn how) to use the technical equipment is advantageous - possible from June to September

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.
It is possible to change the date of the trekking tour, once the minimum number of participants has been reached or once the amount corresponding to the minim. no. of participants has been paid.
For our guests who are arriving by plane we are offering a pick-up service from the airport.

From Mount CORNETTO to Mount BAFFELAN (CRESTS' CROSSING)

APa

When

11.05.2008

- upon request -

No. of participants: 3

Price: EUR 85,00

Meeting point: ROVERETO train station or your hotel - at 8.00 a.m.

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.

What to bring: backpack - water - sandwich - light windcheater - trekking boots - hiking sticks.
Equipment for via ferrata: harness, ferrata-set, helmet (can be rented from the mountain guide).
