It is the last stop of the
trekking, the most spectacular, the most grandiose, the most exciting, perhaps the one that reserves the greatest satisfaction.
It's hard to find the words to describe what it's like to walk in front of the northern slope of Adamello, with its dizzying edges rocky, its tormented glaciers, its great lakes, in a scenario certainly among the most beautiful.
Given the considerable altitude reached, there will often be snow even in the very late season.
From the Tonolini Hut (2450 meters) you will go along the south-eastern shore of the nearby Lake Rotondo, then heading east, leaving the small Lago Bianco at the bottom right.
Then, following the slope, turn left (north) reaching Lake Premassone (2719 meters).
A final effort, on the ground sometimes sprinkled with large boulders, allows finally to reach the Passo di Premassone, that is, the highest point of the whole trek — well 2923 meters — from which you can enjoy a view that we define great is little.
The descent on the opposite side requires a lot of attention first, although some fixed ropes are of great help: a series of hoops, a gully and therefore a steep ridge leads to the below Lake Pantano dell'Avio, at 2378 meters above sea level.
After crossing the top of the dam, follow a good track that, heading east, leads to the marked Bocchetta del Pantano, at 2650 meters of share.
Going down on the opposite side, we head towards the obvious moraine on the right of the western view of the Venerocolo, which wanders on the left, finally reaching the dam of Lake Venerocolo and the very near Rifugio Garibaldi, at 2553 meters above sea level, where the trek ends (5 hours) from the Tonolini Hut).
The return to the valley, up to the town of Temù, in the upper Val Camonica takes place along the unmistakable path of access to the Garibaldi hut.
