    The proposed excursion features characteristics typical of “freeride” routes, characterized by little ascent (thanks to the use of ski lifts) and lots of descent.

    The route takes place in a very scenic area of the Brenta Dolomites, where you ski surrounded by high rocky walls in a wild and evocative environment. The descent to Vallesinella and then to Val Brenta requires good snow cover even at low altitude (the arrival point is at 1190m altitude) and for the return, a second car or a taxi is necessary.

    Author’s recommendation

    Check the snow cover of the forest road descending from Vallesinella to Val Brenta and start early with the first cable car ascent.

    Safety information

    This tour requires settled snow, especially on the ascent section below the east face of Cima Grostè, as well as in the descent couloir (45° slope).

    The stability of the snow cover is subject to sudden and unpredictable changes. Always consult the avalanche bulletin (www.meteotrentino.it) and get detailed information on current conditions from the Alpine Guide offices.

    http://www.guidealpinecampiglio.it

    As you can imagine, the traversability of mountain routes is strictly linked to current conditions and therefore depends on natural phenomena, environmental changes, and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this sheet may have changed. Before setting out, check the state of the route by contacting the refuge manager on your path, the alpine guides, the visitor centers of natural parks, and tourist offices.

    Roadbook

    Take the cable car up to the Stoppani refuge at 2440m (a single ride ski pass is sufficient), then skin up the first section along the piste (staying on the left) almost to the upper station of the Grostè chairlift. From here, start traversing to the left on a slight descent, heading South/Southeast, aiming for the wide plain that allows you to bypass the steep slopes of Cima Grostè on the left. Upon reaching the lowest part of the hollow, begin to ascend on the right, entering a sort of inclined plane that squeezes between two rock bands (beware of hard snow, exposed section) and with a traverse allows access to the upper basin. From here, you overcome another steep rise, then you come into view of the Bocchetta del Campaniletto.

    From the saddle, the descent into the couloir (45°) begins, initially narrow, then wider: once down in the chamois basin, stay close to the left walls (Castello di Vallesinella) and descend maintaining the same direction (West) also on the lower slopes. Upon entering the woods, head for the Vallesinella Alta alpine hut on the right bank of the valley, from which you follow the Sat 382 trail to the Vallesinella refuge. From here, continue on the forest road leading to the waterfalls and then descending into Val Brenta, where it joins the paved road at Prà della Casa, near the homonymous accommodation facility.

    Equipment

    For all off-piste ski excursions, it is recommended to wear appropriate clothing even in case of sudden temperature drops and that does not get wet in contact with snow (waterproof clothing such as Gore-Tex). Gloves, hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen should also be part of each group member’s usual equipment.

    Remember that ski boots that are too tight or not sufficiently waterproof can cause early signs of frostbite to the feet.

    It is MANDATORY to carry avalanche self-rescue equipment, including ARTVA- shovel-probe (which can also be rented).

    A helmet or other active protection systems (such as backpacks with ABS-Airbag systems) are strongly recommended.

    On this route, crampons and/or ice screws may be useful in case of icy snow.
