Little church carved in the rock near XII Apostoli refugePhoto: fototeca Trentino Marketing, APT Madonna di Campiglio, Pinzolo, Val Rendena
Difficult route but of great satisfaction toward the most western refuge of the Brenta Group, with a scenic view on the Presanella top.

Author’s recommendation
The route requires a good physical training and has some stretches on gravel and little rocks; the most difficult stretch near the so-called "Scala Santa" has iron ropes. Anyway, the beauty of the area repays you for the hard climb.
Not to be missed near the refuge the little church carved in the rock, dedicated to the people dead in the mountains.
If you want to go down to valley from Doss del Sabion area with the cablecar, check the timetable of the last run.
