The importance of this itinerary is twofold: on the one hand it is a pleasant excursion within everyone's reach, which reaches a picturesque corner of the Valle del Caffaro, a short distance from the well-known and frequented Passo di Croce Domini; on the other, it represents the important starting point (or arrival) of the trekking “Alta Via dell'Adamello”. To avoid excessive repetition, in the description we considered to group the three possibilities of access to the Tita Secchi Hut, a few meters away from the characteristic Lake of the Vacca. The shelter has in fact replaced the old Gabriele Rosa Hut, now used as a winter room. All the possible itineraries listed below are very popular, well marked, untiring and almost unmistakable. Itinerary 1: from the Gaver. Once you reach the Gaver esplanade near the Nikolajewka Hut, in the upper Valle del Caffaro (altitude 1505 meters), we walk past the alpine church, and then touch Malga Laione di Sotto (1602 meters). Continuing on the always unmistakable track, you will finally reach the Tita Secchi Hut, at 2367 meters above sea level (2.15 hours from the start). The return takes place along the same path as the climb, and takes 1.30 hours. Itinerary 2: from Malga Cadino This itinerary takes its move from Malga Cadino (altitude 1799 meters) along the road from Valle del Caffaro climbs to Passo di Croce Domini. We then walk north, first along a small road that later turns into a path, until you easily reach the Passo della Vacca (2355 meters). From the pass, in a few minutes you reach the Tita Secchi Hut, at 2367 meters above sea level (2 hours from the start). The return takes place along the same path as the climb, and takes 1.15 hours. Itinerary 3: from the Tassara Hut in Bazena. This itinerary also starts near the Croce Domini Pass, but on the slope of Val Camonica, in particular from the Tassara Hut in Bazena, at an altitude of 1802 meters. Also in this case we walk north, reaching the Passo di Val Fredda (2338 meters). A long and restful crossing along the opposite side leads subsequently to the Passo della Vacca (2355 meters) and finally to the not far Tita Secchi Hut, at 2367 meters above sea level (2 hours) 1.5 from the start). The return takes place along the same path as the climb, and takes 1.30 hours.

While for the mountaineer this trip represents the “starting point” for the next climb along the normal route to the Adamello, for the hiker the Giuseppe Garibaldi Hut & nbsp; it is a prestigious and very profitable final destination, in a great high mountain environment, in front of the northern slope of the Adamello. Among the various reasons of interest, we mention the possibility of observing the glaciers and their imposing moraines closely, not forgetting the great hydroelectric works they have profoundly changed the face of the valley. A series of artificial reservoirs that are now an integral part of the landscape, with their pleasant notes of color. The Giuseppe Garibaldi Hut is also the point of arrival (or departure) of the trekking “Alta Via dell'Adamello”. Passed Edolo, in the upper Val Camonica (97 kilometers from Brescia), it can be reached in about fifteen kilometers the town of Temù (1155 meters), from which you bend to the right entering the Val d'Avio, following the convenient road to Malga Caldea, at 1584 meters above sea level, where you can park. We then walk on the continuation of the road (owned by ENEL), touching in succession three artificial reservoirs (always on the western shore) in an environment undoubtedly suggestive: Avio Pond (1869 meters), Lake Avio (1907 meters, containing 17.2 million cubic meters of water) and Lake Benedict < /b > (1930 meters, with a capacity of 7.5 million cubic meters). By now on the path, you pass a rocky jump next to a waterfall, leading to the vast plateau of Malga Lavedole (2044 meters). Continuing now heading east, you face a steep and tiring mule track, known by the appropriate nickname 'Calvary. ' After touching the Church dedicated to the “Madonnina dell'Adamello”, built during the Great War, you will reach the great building of the Giuseppe Garibaldi Hut < ; /b>, a few meters from Lake Venerocolo (containing 2.5 million cubic meters of water) in a wonderful panoramic position: 2553 meters altitude, 3 hours from Malga Caldea. The return takes place along the same path as the climb, and takes about 2 hours.

Substantially simple stage, characterized by the long climb to the Passo di Poia, and the next equally steep descent towards the Prudenzini Hut. You can thus appreciate the typical glacial morphology of the Adamè Valley and the Salarno Valley, with the views that are increasingly being made great, now being very close to the heart of the frozen Adamello massif. Given the considerable altitude reached, there will often be snow even in the very late season. From the CAI Lissone Hut (2017 meters) follow the comfortable path that, flat or slightly uphill, runs along the bottom of the wide Adamè Valley (right) hydrographic). After passing Malga Adamè (2022 meters) and the Casine di Mezzo (2107 meters) we arrive at a characteristic and chaotic expanse of boulders and to a subsequent shepherd's cabin: the Cuel del Manzoler, at an altitude of 2130 meters. At this point we leave the valley floor to bend to the left, following a track that goes up the right hydrographic side of the valley, a short distance from a stream, until it emerges on the flat “ coster right” of the valley. Now pointing towards the Northern Peak of Frampola, you will soon enter the valley that, unmistakably, leads to the Passo di Poia, at 2775 meters of altitude, from which you can enjoy a spectacular view towards the great head of the Valle di Salarno and towards the Adamello. From the pass we descend almost straight along the opposite side, up to the “coaster on the left” of the Valle di Salarno. Then take a valley that leads with a regular descent to the bottom of the valley, a short distance from the Prudenzini Hut, which is soon reached by crossing the stream on a bridge: altitude 2225 meters, 4.45 am from the CAI Lissone Hut.

Excursion among the most recommended in the area, with a purely mountaineering “flavor”, which reaches a peak of considerable height, from which you can enjoy a panorama called “exceptional”, on horseback between Lombardy and Trentino. During the Great War, the top of Monte Re di Castello was manned by Italian troops, who even carried a cannon and a sliding projector on it. tracks. Even today, some remains of such works are visible that, at the time, had to look really impressive. In particular, we notice the foundations of a large 'shack', which was still preserved almost intact in the 1960s. The Passo di Campo, from which the excursion begins, is easily reached both from the Trentino side passing through Lake Malga Bissina in Val di Daone, who from Val Camonica, in Lombardy (locality La Rasega in Val di Saviore). Given the characteristics of the route, it is necessary to equip yourself with ice axe and crampons. From the Passo di Campo (2288 meters altitude), keeping on the western side, follow the old military mule track (sometimes reduced to a small path) heading south, at the foot of the rocky Sega d'Arno (also almost entirely manned during the Great War). After a short descent, the journey continues flat in the same direction, neglecting some branches that rise to the left towards the ridge. Later the path begins to climb, and then bend to the right (southwest) at an obvious moraine: at this point, however, it is necessary to leave the path, to continue instead in the direction south, still parallel to the Sega d'Arno. Subsequently, depending on the season, the climb continues on the snowy slope of the slightly inclined Vedretta di Saviore, which unfortunately in the late summer almost risks disappearing. Regularly you reach the saddle between the top and the front, from which finally, to the left, on the rocky summit you reach Monte Re di Castello, an altitude of 2891 meters, 2.30 hours from Passo di Campo. The return takes place along the same path as the climb and takes 1.30 hours. Technical sheet: Travel time: 4 hours Starting altitude: 2288 m.

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.
