Advanced Brenta Piccola Trek

Starting from the alpine town of Madonna di Campiglio, your adventure begins with a choice: take the easy way up to the Grostè Pass by cable car, or take on the challenge of the ascent on foot - and earn these views the hard way!

From the Grostè Pass, path 316 winds through rocky outcrops and tranquil pastures on a gentle descent to the Tuckett Hut. Along the way you'll be rewarded with views of the Presanella, Adamello and Brenta mountain ranges. A warm welcome awaits you at this refuge, a favourite stop for hikers and the perfect place to relax and recharge your batteries.

The day begins at the Rifugio Tuckett, where the trail climbs steadily through rugged rocky terrain. With the imposing Crozzon di Brenta and other legendary peaks towering above you, it's the kind of scenery that makes every step feel epic. The well-marked path keeps you on track and offers breathtaking views of rugged limestone cliffs and glacial landscapes.

As you climb, the trail throws in some steep inclines to test your stamina - especially as you approach the Alimonta Hut, which stands at an impressive 2,580 metres. The final stretch requires a steady footing, with loose rocks and uneven paths adding to the adventure. Along the way you will find cascading streams and towering rock spires. It's as challenging as it is rewarding!

The final day kicks off at Rifugio Alimonta, perched high among the jagged peaks of the Brenta Dolomites. A short climb leads you up to the Bocca dei Armi before beginning your descent, with towering cliffs and sweeping alpine vistas accompanying you along the way.

As you drop down past Rifugio Brentei and into greener valleys, the trail winds through rocky terrain, a mountain tunnel, and peaceful forest paths. Waterfalls begin to appear as you reach the Vallesinella area, where the sound of cascading water welcomes you to the valley. Your trek ends at the welcoming Rifugio Vallesinella – the perfect place to rest and reflect on an unforgettable journey. From there, you can return to the alpine town of Madonna di Campiglio via Via Vallesinella.
