A classic itinerary starting high in the mountains to see some of the Brenta Dolomites’ most famous alpine shelters. The incredible panorama is ample reward for the exertion of the hike.

An amazing, high-altitude hike in the company of the vertical faces of the central section of the Brenta Dolomites, along rolling false flats with amazing views of the Rendena Valley and the Adamello-Presanella mountain range. At the starting point, you can admire the magnificent Pietra Grande, which can be seen from the arrival station of the gondola lift, as well as Cima Grostè as soon as you get out of the gondola.

Author’s recommendation

From Rifugio Tuckett, you can choose from four different via ferratas (proper equipment required).The itinerary is perfect for taking some great rock-themed photos.

giro impegnativo ma bellissimo. famiglia con 2 bambine di 5 e 7 anni (abituate al cammino). Partiti all'arrivo della funivia grostè, variando per il percorso 305 e 331 fino al collegamento con il tucket (segnavia 316) che permette di avventurarsi tra rocce e patroni ben segnati, poi l'arrivo al tucket permette un ottimo ristoro e gustare buon cibo. Ripartiti verso il Casinei e poi seguendo per Vallesinella tra le cascate alte. Unico inconveniente la navetta che da Vallesinella scende a Madonna, piena e serve prenotazione, nonostante siamo arrivati 45 min prima e prenotato a prima fosse impossibile visto che non prende il telefono e non si può sapere con troppo anticipo quando si arriva al rifugio Vallesinella. Abbiamo allora percorso il sentiero dell'orso e siamo arrivata a Madonna centro dove abbiamo preso bus per Grostè.
