Crossing
the Brenta Dolomites, Trentino: from Molveno to San Lorenzo via the Rossati
Pass
The
itinerary begins in Molveno at Croce Marocchi (near the entrance to the Spiaggio
camp-site). The first stretch follows the same route as path 332 which goes up
to the Malga Andalo. Soon you come to a fork where you turn left and go as far
as the point where the path joins the forestry road which climbs up to the Malga
Andalo. Carry on along this road until path no. 326 turns northwards along
Vela and the Ceda Valley.
Climb up as far as the ruins of the Malga Ceda
Bassa (1,434 m.) from where, along traces of a path, you come to the Malga
Andalo Refuge. Continue along path no. 326 and you will come to the ruins of the
former Malga Ceda Alta (1,888 m.). On the right are the rocky slopes of the Cima
Sparaveri peak and of Monte Cresole, while on the left are the rock spurs of
Monte Dio and Dos di Dalum, between which the lonely San Lorenzo Valley winds
its way, enclosed by the Rossati peak.
Carry on along grassy expanses until you
come to the Ceda Pass at 2,223 metres which encloses the dark Pozza Tramontana
hollow. Further on, at the fork with path no. 320, turn left (i.e.
westwards)
and follow path no. 320 as far as the Forcolotta di Noghera pass (2,415 m.).
The
route that follows is called the “Sborzi way” by the locals, after the
nickname given to the Rigotti brothers from San Lorenzo in Banale who followed
this track in order to carry out construction work on the old Tosa Refuge.
At
the Forcolotta di Noghera pass leave path no. 320 and take no. 345 which goes
down to the base of the eastern edge of the Dos di Dalum (1,900 m., 1 hour 15
minutes). Over moraine terrain and in wild surroundings climb up the San Lorenzo
Valley as far as the Rossati Pass (2,358 m, 2½ hours from the Forcolotta di
Noghera pass).
Here the descent begins first over debris and through fields, and
then along the sunny Doré Valley, down to the Piana di Foschera plain and Prada
and finally to the Alpenrose Refuge (1,081 m.) and the nearby Bar Erica in La Ri
(5 – 5½ hours from the Forcolotta di Noghera pass and almost 10 hours from
Molveno).
Note: there is a considerably
shorter route near the ruins of the Malga Ceda Alta (about 1,880 m.). Cross the
valley along traces of a path going left (i.e. westwards) and aim for the
eastern edge of the Dos di Dalum where you cross path 345 which begins to climb
the San Lorenzo Valley (this way you cut about 3 hours off the total time).
