The total walking time from Rifugio Brentei to Rifugio Pedrotti Tosa via Rifugio XII Apostoli and Rifugio Agostini is 8.30 hours along paths graded EEA-MD, that is requiring climbing aids and therefore suitable for expert hikers equipped with harnesses, helmets and crampons. The following alternative route permits you to avoid the mountaineering paths and vie ferrate and to shorten the time it takes to go from Rifugio Brentei to Rifugio Pedrotti Tosa.
