Tour of Tosa and Sfulmini chain

"5 days" hiking around the Brenta,Trentino, starting from Pinzolo in the Rendena Valley.

Hiking from Pinzolo to the Dodici Apostoli Refuge, to the Tuckett Refuge along the Orsi path and back along the Martinazzi path. Starting and finishing points in Pinzolo. When open the Dos Sabion cable cars considerably shorten the route on the first day. In five days this difficult hike crosses the central section of the Brenta Group from the west, passing close to the highest peaks along mountaineering stretches such as the Daniele Martinazzi path. Recommended for the expert and the fit.

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.

DescriptionThe direct link between the 12 Apostoli Refuge and the Brentei Refuge runs through scenery that is both some of the wildest and loveliest in the whole of the Brenta Group. the Martinazzi path begins by crossing the Vedretta dei Camosci hanging glacier, going to the west of the Cima Tosa peak and the great Crozzon di Brenta rock face. To the west of the path rise the Fracigli peaks and the Crozzon di Val d’Agola. This is a mountain climbing route which is very difficult in parts, especially when the weather is changeable. The crossing of the Vedretta dei Camosci hanging glacier can be difficult because of the crevasses. When open the Pinzolo cable car shortens this stage by about 2 hours.
