Three days immersed in the natural wonders of the Adamello Brenta Natural Park, a protected area that encompasses two very different mountaineous ranges: the Brenta Dolomites, made of dolostone and the Adamello-Presanella mountain system, made of granite rock. Looking at one another from the opposite sides of the Rendena Valley, both mountain ranges are worth your visit.

Day 1 – Lakes of San Giuliano
Among the many highlights hidden in the territory of the Adamello-Presanella mountain system we find the lakes of San Giuliano and the homonymous mountain hut nestled between them. The ascent to the lakes offers suggestive views over the Lares and Nardis Glaciers as well as wonderful views over the Brenta Dolomites. Immersed in a paradisiacal context, the lakes of San Giuliano are the perfect destination to begin these three amazing days aimed at discovering the wonders of the Adamello Brenta Natural Park. Not forgetting to try the hut’s most famous cake! Overnight stay in a hotel in Pinzolo or around.

Day 2 – Dolomites
We start the day immersed in the spruce and fir forest following the water jumps of the picturesque Vallesinella waterfalls, the most beautiful in the entire region. The landscape is idyllic but the real spectacle has yet to come. The trail takes us smootly above the tree line and closer to the iconic rock towers which are the symbol of the Dolomites and backdrop to some of the most scenic mountain huts in the area. In front of such an amazing scenery we can only stare in awe and enjoy every single moment of the hike. Our plan is to reach the Ai Brentei Hut and have lunch there. Overnight stay in a hotel in Pinzolo or around.

Day 3 – Val di Fumo

Right into the Adamello group we find one of the most picturesque valleys of all. Crossed by the crystal-clear water of the Chiese River the Fumo Valley lies at the footsteps of imposing mountains, including the Carè Alto. Covered with mountain pines and rhododendrons, the valley is a favourite destination for an easy hike with a limited height difference (classified as medium due to the lenght). Starting from the turquise water of the Malga Bissina Lake and following the course of the Chiese river, after 8 miles of pure beauty we reach the Val di Fumo Hut and there we stop for lunch. At the end of the tour we start our drive back to the city of Milan (3.5 hours)
