Home » Brenta Dolomites Trek Expert – Stage #2
The stage descends to lower elevations and passes through fir forests and abandoned alpine hut ruins, skirts the colossal walls of the Centonia and comes out in the softer pastureland of Malga Mondifrà at Campo Carlomagno. From here it climbs again to the Graffer hut, through centuries-old pastures and larch groves.
Technical description:
From the Costanzi Bivouac, ascend along the SAT 365 (EE) marker until rejoining the trail that descends the wild Val del Vento to the ruins of Malga Scale (m. 1590). From the Malga, proceed up and down along the SAT 355 (T) trail that crosses the Val Centonia and leads to the forest road that uphill reaches Malga Mondifrà (m. 1632). Then follow the sign for Malga Vaglianella (m. 1826), which is reached in 30 minutes by walking along part trail and part forest road. From Vaglianella, continue on the forest road that leads to Malga Vagliana (m. 1974), and from here follow the trail straight up that climbs quite steeply to an elevation of 2,180 m. The trail proceeds level to the Graffer Hut (m. 2263). Total walking time: Molga Mondifrà – Grostè Pass: 2h 15m. N.B: The last section of the Expert trail from Malga Mondifrà to Passo del Grostè follows paths that are not numbered but still have signage.

Breathtaking experience for everyone who loves mountains, vertical rock, boundless grasslands and mysterious forests.
An emblematic multi-day itinerary circumnavigating the entire Brenta Dolomites group: 90 km of trails among vertiginous ferratas, wild alpine pastures and meadows, high-altitude refuges and the unmistakable rock of the Dolomites at sunset.
It is a walking route of about 90 km (plus variants) divided into 11 stages, which circumnavigates at high altitude (1400 – 2800 m asl) the entire Brenta Dolomite range.
The itinerary is modular, depending on the availability of time, in various combinations of stages, taking advantage of the variants. Some of the stages are short and therefore sum up to the same travel day.
