Bocchette Centrali Brenta - Via Ferrata alpine mountaineering
Presanella peak 3.558 m - alpine mountaineering trip in the Adamello National Park
Peak Punta Penia 3.343 m of Marmolada - alpine mountaineering
The mountains around Riva del Garda - alpine mountaineering
Pasubio group - Ridges traverse from Mount Cornetto to Baffeland
The mountaineering tours which we are offering have
been chosen among the most beautiful and most famous ones in the respective
areas in the Italian Alps. Partially the trails are crossing glaciers
or sometimes "airy" paths which are equipped with iron ropes (via ferrata).
The guidance by a mountain guide is indispensable, unless you have great
high mountain 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 (iron/ladder
paths). The security of the participants is top priority for the
mountain guide of Alpine School Arco. 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
alpine mountaineering trips, once the minimum number of
participants has been reached or once the amount corresponding to the
minimum. no. of participants has been paid.
For our guests who are arriving by plane we are offering a pick-up service
from the airport.
Brenta Dolomites - 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 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 group makes the area very popular from hut to hut trips on the
famous via ferratas "Bocchette del Brenta".
Meeting point: Rovereto train station - at 8.00 a.m. or in your accommodation.
Description: Extremely scenic tour in the astounding surroundings of towers and eternal walls of the Brenta Dolomites.
Departing from Rovereto with our mini-van, we are heading towards MADONNA DI CAMPIGLIO until we have reached the starting point
of our trip after ca. 90 min. by car. Ascent (appx. 3 to 4 hrs.) to the alpine lodge "Rifugio Alimonta (2.580 m)
where we will spend the night. Next day: on via ferrata (iron/ladder path) "Bocchette centrali del Brenta"
via "Vedretta degli Sfulmini"up to "Bocchetta degli Armi". We will reach our next destination, the mountain
lodge "Rifugio Pedrotti alla Tosa", after ca. 3 to 4 hours. The descent back to our starting point will take appx. 3
hrs. Transfer back to Rovereto and/or your accommodation.

protection - light gloves - sleeping sheet.
Equipment for vie ferrate: harness, ferrata-set, helmet (can be rented from the mountain guide upon request).
Note: for the overnight stay incl. half-board (breakfast+dinner) in the alpine lodge, one should calculate extra costs of appx. EUR 45,00.
Adamello glacier - The Adamello National Park is the largest glacier in
Trentino and larger than the one of Mont Blanc. Unlike the Brenta group 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.
Meeting point: Rovereto train station - at 10.00 a.m. or in your Hotel.
Description: Tour of high-alpine character amidst impressive scenic landscape. Departing from Rovereto with our mini-van,

specialties of Trentino. Staying overnight in the mountain lodge. Next day: after four and half hours will reach the
highest mountain top in Trentino, Presanella Peak (3.558 m). Descent: ca. 4 hours, back to Rovereto and/or your accommodation.
Due to the large amount of difference of elevation which has to be mastered (1.600 m), an extremely good physical condition is a
prerequisite for the participation at this trip.

Marmolada Dolomites - Marmolada Group is located in the
eastern part of the Trentino and offers the highest mountain in Trentino: 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 to climb the difficult via ferrata which is running
on the East Ridge.
Meeting point: Ora/Auer train station - at 10.00 a.m. or in your Hotel at Lake Garda.
Description: Departing from Lake Garda with our mini-van, we are heading towards Fassa Valley. After ca. 90 min. by car,
we have reached Lake Fedaia from where we will take the cableway to the alpine lodge "Rifugio Pian dei Fiacconi"
(2.625 m). On the adjacent glacier we will teach and practice the correct climb with ice-axe and crampons in ascent and
descent. Overnight stay in "Pian dei Fiacconi" lodge in the Marmolada. Next day: crossing of the glacier
and ascent to the peak of Marmolada (ca. 3 hrs.). Descent to "Pian dei Fiacconi" lodge and back to where we have
parked our mini-van at Lake Fedaia. Transfer back to ORA/AUER train station and/or your accommodation.

Garda Lake Trentino - High and steep mountains emerging from the quiet blue sea water, green valleys rich of torrents, waterfalls, small lakes, meadows and forests. Here every outdoor activitiy is possible all year round. The village of Arco is a famous spot for rock climbing, here are the most difficult and panoramic via ferratas. The area is suitable for every type and length of trips on the paths built by Italian soldiers in the WW1. In winter time the mountains tops around Lake Garda are covered by snow and it is not rare that our Alpine School accompanies its customers skiing in the morning and rock climbing in a T-Shirt in the afternoon in the lower sunny spots.
Meeting point: Rovereto train station or your hotel - at 9.30 a.m. or in your Hotel in Riva del Garda
Description: Tour with alpine character in a particular scenic landscape with excellent view over the entire
area. Departing from Rovereto with our mini-van, we are heading towards Riva del Garda until we have reached the starting
point of our tour (ca. 30 min. by car). A rather steep forest path will lead us the sanctuary Santa
Barbara from where will follow our path - partially on via ferrata (iron-ladder path) - to Rocchetta Peak (1.519 m).
The elevation difference which has to be mastered is ca. 1.400 m. This trip can be done in wintertime as well.
We would like to underline that a very good physical condition is a prerequisite for the participation at this tour. An
ascent in summertime must not be under-estimated due to the strong exposure to the sun during the entire trip.
What to bring: backpack - water - sandwich - light windcheater - boots - poles.
Pasubio mountain 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 trekking follows the traces and trenches of WW1 on the ridges and ledges up to the rock walls. The Pasubio Group is ca. 1 hr. by car from Lake Garda and is accessible from May to October.
Meeting point: Rovereto train station - at 8.00 a.m. or in your accommodation.
Description: Tour in particularly scenic landscape against a great historical background. Departing from Rovereto
with our mini-van we are heading towards Vicenza. We will reach the starting point of our tour, "Passo Pian delle
Fugazze", after about 45 min. Our first mountain top is Monte Cornetto (1.900 m). Itinerary of trip:
following the paths which have been constructed by the soldiers during World War I, sometimes on ridges, partially
rather "airy" passages equipped with iron ropes. The climb up to Baffelan Peak is optional (some easy rock
climbing is involved to reach the top). On our descent we will pass the alpine lodge "Passo di Campogrosso"
where we can have a snack. The hike back to our mini-van is on a very comfortable path. This tour is very
often being compared to the via ferratas in the Brenta Dolomites but - from an alpinistic point of view - it is much more
difficult. Excellent training for high-alpine tours with 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 - boots - poles.
Our highlights regarding hiking via ferrata have not been chosen by our alpine mountain guides school but are the preferences of our customers in the 20 years of our activity. Please click on the image for a complete program of our trips and courses.
