Pasubio Group presents the same Dolomite rock as the
Brenta Group which explains its second name The little Dolomites. They are situated
between Trentino and Veneto. On a clear day you can normally see the white beaches of
Venice from some of the tops of the Pasubio mountain group. In this area used to run
the border between Austria and Italy and this is also where the soldiers fought between 1916
to 1918. We can visit many remainders of forts, trenches and tunnels of WW1. The environment
offers meadow and forests with easy paths suitable for walking. The most difficult trips
follows the traces and trenches of WW1 on the ridges and ledges up to the Dolomites rock walls.
The Pasubio Group is ca. 1 hr. by car from Lake Garda and is accessible from May to October.

Description: Tour in particularly scenic landscape against a great historical background. Departing from Rovereto with our mini-van we are
heading towards Vicenza. After ca. 60 min by car we have reached the starting point of our tour at "Passo Xomo". There we find one of
the most incredible constructions created by the soldiers who had been fighting here during Word War I: a "trail" built through the
rocks - consisting of 52 tunnels some of which are up to 300 m long. Our trip is following this "road of war" with its tunnels
until we reach the mountain lodge "Rifugio Papa" where we can have a snack. Ascent to "Palon Peak" (2.230 m). The entire
surrounding area was the arena of the merciless battles during World War I. and is still rich of many remainders. From an alpinistic point
of view this tour is not difficult although it is rather long. Wonderful panorama; with good weather it even possible to see Venice
and the Adriatic Sea. Back to Rovereto and/or your accommodation.
What to bring: backpack - water - Sandwich light windcheater - mountain boots - poles - for the crossing of the tunnels a flashlight is absolutely necessary !
Brenta Dolomites Trentino - 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 mountains
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 makes the area very popular for walking from lodge to lodge or from hut to hut
on the trips of the famous via ferrata trip Bocchette del Brenta.

Adamello glacier
- The Adamello National Park is the largest glacier in Trentino and larger than the one of Mont Blanc.
Unlike the Brenta-Dolomites which are of sedimentary origin, the mountains in the Adamello
Group 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 trips.
