PROGRAM
Via ferrata in the Brenta Dolomites: guided Trek
The Brenta Dolomites features one of the most articulated via ferrata systems in the Alps. They are in fact fully crossed by an equipped path in high altitude which, by taking advantage of the mountains' natural ledges and the rock formations, it connects all the mountain huts of the group.
Among the most beautiful and scenic equipped paths in the Dolomites there is Bocchette Centrali. This via ferrata extends into the heart of Brenta group surrounded by its highest and most famous peaks and develops between Bocca di Brenta and Bocca degli Armi with breathtaking views of Campanil Basso and Crozzon di Brenta.
Bocchette Centrali offer unforgettable panoramas, aerial passages and breathtaking views. All this combined with an overnight stay at high altitude, in one of the huts of the Brenta Dolomites.
