One of the most strenuous and spectacular stages of the tour. At first you enter the rocky amphitheater of the Busa degli Sfulmini, where you can see the most famous and bold peaks of the Brenta, such as the Campanil Basso. Then with a long, exposed and scenic traverse (and a reckless descent and steep ascent) we cross an important landscape boundary. They leave behind the vertiginous walls and rock towers to enter the wild pastures of the eastern subgroup.

Descrizione tecnica
From Pedrotti Refuge descend for a few minutes to a shelf just below Rifugio Tosa (m 2439) and take the SAT marker 303 (EEA – D) “Osvaldo Orsi” Equipped Trail, which goes up and down around the base of the large rocky flank of Cima Brenta Alta and after a short stretch comes out into the Sfulmini and Massodi Busa (m. 2380). The trail runs along the entire threshold of the basin, continues flat in the Busa dei Armi (m. 2450) and then climbs briefly to the foot of the Naso dei Massodi (m. 2510) from where it overlooks the Val Perse. From here the trail travels along a convenient ledge equipped with a metal tail (the High Saw). Remaining at high altitude and crossing scree and snowfields, go around the base of the E face of Cima Brenta and ascend on scree to just below the Bocca del Tuckett (m. 2540) where the junction with SAT trail 322 (EE) is evident. Along this path, crossing the Busa dell’Acqua, you reach the junction with SAT path 344 (E) on the valley floor of the Vallazza. Follow it up the other side, along a very steep and challenging trail that reaches the Clamer Pass (m. 2164). From the pass, continue downhill along the easy grassy slope of SAT trail 344 (E), which reaches Malga Spora (m. 1855) in 30 minutes.
