Tour of Cima Brenta and Sfulmini chain

This route starts from and finishes in San Lorenzo in Banale. It is not particularly difficult, apart from one stretch with fixed rope supports on the “Sega Alta” or Osvado Orsi path, no. 303. 
The highest point is the Bocca di Brenta at 2,552 metres. The route starts by climbing up the Ambiez Valley as far as the Silvio Agostini Refuge (a jeep service which goes from San Lorenzo as far as the Al Cacciatore Refuge shortens the climb considerably). This is a short hike over five days which takes in the best-known valleys and refuges in the Brenta Group.
  NB.:  the times between points given in the tables refer to an average walking speed (about 300-350 metres of difference in height per hour going uphill, about 500 metres going downhill and about 3 km on the flat), they do not include stops and they assume normal weather conditions.

Comment: Panoramic crossing, an alternative to the Brentari fixed rope route. After crossing the Forcolotta di Noghera pass, the route passes the southern edge of the Cima Ceda Orientale peak which it meets path no. 326 coming up from Molveno along the Ceda Valley. Going northwards, follow the Pozza Tramontana, a deep hollow between Monte Daino and the two Ceda peaks. .
