Brenta Dolomites
Dolomiti di Brenta
The only mountain group in the Dolomites World Heritage property that lies west of the Adige River. Its bell-tower-like dolomite peaks and the Via delle Bocchette via ferrata are known worldwide.
The Brenta Dolomites are part of the UNESCO 'Dolomites' World Heritage property. The highest peak, Cima Tosa, rises to 3,173 meters. The most famous feature, the Campanile Basso ('Bell Tower'), is a mecca for climbers. Hikers often ride a cable car from Madonna di Campiglio up to Grostè, or from Molveno up to Pradel, then walk on to mountain huts such as Brentei and Pedrotti. Experienced hikers can take on the Via delle Bocchette, a via ferrata that requires full gear. Afternoon thunderstorms are common in summer, so set out early and consider spending a night in a mountain hut to experience high-alpine life.
Opening hours
