Variant of the third stage of the "Dolomiti di Brenta Trek" route, from Rifugio Graffer to Malga Spora.
If you want to shorten the circuit you can quickly reach Malga Spora (closed for the 2019 summer) from Rifugio Graffer and avoid the southern part of the Brenta Dolomites as well as the via ferrata.
This variant cuts the DBT tour halfway from east to west. Hikers who only have 3 or 4 days at disposal can choose to walk only either the southern loop (the most famous and exposed part) or the northern loop (very wild and never crowded).
