| Useful information about our mountaineering and trekking hut to hut trips in the Dolomites Italy |
| The alpine mountaineering trekking trips which we are offering have
been chosen among the most beautiful and most famous ones in the respective areas in the Italian
Dolomites. Partially the trails are crossing glaciers or sometimes "airy" paths which are equipped with
via ferratas. The guidance by a mountain guide is indispensable, unless you have great high
mountain and trekking experience and complete command of rope maneuvers which are necessary for the crossing of
glaciers (for example rescue maneuvers from glacier crevasses, knot system for a rope team) as well as the
correct use of the technical equipment on the via ferrata. The safety of the participants is top
priority for the mountain
guide of Alpine School Arco Italy. He will teach the participants alpine techniques
and demonstrate how to handle possible perils in the mountains in a proper way. It is possible to change the date
of the trekking alpine mountaineering trips, once the minimum number of participants has been reached or once the
amount corresponding to the minimum. number of participants has been paid. For our guests who are arriving by plane we are offering a pick-up service from the airport in Italy to Lake Garda Dolomites. |

| Bocchette Centrali Brenta Dolomites Italy Iron paths - Via Ferrata alpine mountaineering | |||
| Brenta Dolomites Italy - It is amazing to think that these high peaks and walls only 300 million years ago have been the bottom of the Sea. The subsequent deposit layers of animal bones, sand and shells has created these multicolored rocks within millions of years. The Brenta Dolomites in Italy are not only big walls but also green forests, valleys and meadows where cows are grazing, torrents and high waterfalls. This is a wild environment where bears and the local population can coexist safely. The presence of many mountain lodges and huts in the Brenta-Dolomites makes the area very popular for trekking or hiking from lodge to lodge or from hut to hut on the trips of the famous via ferratas "Bocchette del Brenta". | |||

| Crossing of Marmolada Dolomites Italy - easy mountaineering from hut to hut | |||
| Marmolada Dolomites Italy - Marmolada Group is located in the eastern part of the Trentino and offers the highest mountain of the Dolomites: Punta Penia. The mountain chain extends from North to South and presents two sides both of which are very interesting. Towards the South it breaks into breathtaking cliffs with the largest climbing walls in the world where hundreds of alpinists have climbed numerous routes of extreme difficulty. The north face presents a large and steep glacier where it is possible to exercise any type of alpine mountaineering activity. The ridge itself is composed of several summits decreasing in altitude from the Western to the Eastern part. Before World War 1 there ran the border between Austria and Italy. The Austrian soldiers were hiding in deep tunnels in the glaciers North face whereas the Italian soldiers were quartered on the steep South face of the Marmolada. During the retreat of the Marmolada glacier sometimes war remainders can be still found. The Marmolada is very suitable for our alpine mountaineering courses because the glacier is easily accessible from the alpine mountain lodge in approximately 20 minutes. The mountain guides of our rock climbing school often visit the Marmolada Dolomites to climb the difficult via ferrata which is running on the East Ridge. | |||

| Great glacier Adamello crossing in italy - alpine mountaineering from hut to hut | |||
| Adamello glacier Italy - The Adamello National Park is the largest glacier in Italy and larger than the one of Mont Blanc. Unlike the Brenta-Dolomites Italy which are of sedimentary origin, the mountains in the Adamello Group Italy have a volcanic background. The glaciers extend over large areas and the rock is composed of smooth, magnificent white granite plaques. The Italian and Austrian soldiers fought for three long winters on these rugged mountains. Sometimes the eternal ice releases soldiers bodies and their weapons. During our trekkings from hut to hut or from lodge to lodge we almost always find unexploded bombs and many remnants of the WWI. It is a prerequisite have a good physical condition as well as mountaineering experience, if you want to conquer these wild mountains. The duration of our routes from hut to hut or from lodge to lodge depends on weather conditions: fog, snow and crevasses may slow the march but the worst thing is the lack of preparation of the participants in our trekking and hiking trips. | |||
