Zone Dolomiti
The Via Ferrata of Bocchette is the symbol of Brenta group, one of the most articulated systems of iron paths in the Alps.
The realization of this singular path in high altitude started during the 30s, to connect Brenta huts in a single crossing, using the natural slopes, typical of this group of mountains, to allow hikers to discover the vertical world and enjoy the dolomitic views over 2500 m of elevation.
This is a three-days via ferrata, during which we will walk on the Bocchette Centrali way, the most important section of the path that connects Passo Grostè to the Rifugio XII Apostoli, over the Banale.
Technical description
-
Day One: Sentiero Benini
walking time: 5h – via ferrata 3h
We meet at 8.30 with the Mountain Guide to check the equipment. We ascend with the cable car to the Passo del Grostè (2442 m) to reach the first fixed-rope route, the Sentiero Benini. This is an ideal introduction to the amazing world of vie ferrate. Enjoying the landscape over the rocky peaks of Val Flavona, we walk around the massif of Cima Grostè, the slopes of Cima Falkner in the direction of Bocca del Tuckett. In the end, we descend to the hut and spend the first night. -
Day Two: Sentiero Sosat
walking time: 4h – via ferrata 3h
The Sentiero Sosat is a well-known via ferrata which is builton the eastern side of Gruppo di Brenta, taking the advantage of iron ladders, and brings us admiring the Vedretta degli Sfulmini, a natural amphitheatre between dolomitic crags. Dinner and night stay at the hut (2580 m) included in the adventure. -
Day Three: Bocchette Centrali
walking time 7h30 – via ferrata 4h
We ascend in the direction of Bocca d’Armi, the starting point of Bocchette Centrali route, the most spectacular section of the entire path. This section is characterized by the exposition of some passages on Molveno’s side and by the spectacular traverse under the Campanil Basso (2620 m). The via ferrata ends once reached the Bocca di Brenta; from here we start the descent on a long path through Val Brenta Alta, walking over the scenic Sentiero Bogani to reach Vallesinella (1513m). Then, we come back to the starting point of the adventure with public transport.
