Crossing the Brenta Dolomites, Trentino: Sentiero delle Palete

From the Stoppani Refuge (top station of the Grostè cable car) take path no. 306 which goes around the Pietra Grande and Cima Vagliana peaks from the east to come out on the long green Prà Castron di Flavona terrace and to then cross the Giare Valley.
 After passing, still to the east, the Gra de Formenton with the odd exposed stretch, you begin to climb towards the Palete Pass (2,319 m., fixed rope supports). Then the route goes down the Gelada di Tuenno Valley and round the Cima delle Palete peak to the west and starts to cross the slopes of the Livezza Grande and – more difficult – the slopes of the Livezza Piccola.
 After the Pestacavre Valley you come to the Campo di Tuenno and begin to climb as far as the Prà Castron di Tuenno meadow (2,220 m.). The route then goes past the Cima dell’Uomo peak with several exposed stretches (wonderful views of the Flavona Valley and of Lake Tóvel), and over the Uomo Pass to come out on the Pian della Nana plain.
 Here the route turns northwards towards the Nana Pass (2,195 m.) where it joins path 336 going to the Peller Refuge. This route winds along the eastern slopes with peerless views of Lake Tóvel and the Non Valley. Although there are no stretches along crests, this route does require fitness and the ability to orientate yourself. It includes stretches with fixed rope supports.
