Destination

Costalta Mountain

Turn-by-turn directions

After parking the car in the large dirt car park on the right before the Redebus bar (otherwise a little further on near the bar), take the SAT E457 path that winds along the north-west side of the Dosso di Costalta. Be careful not to take path E404 on the left at the start. The wooded path begins to climb quite steeply, but not particularly hard, up to an altitude of 1695 meters, where there is a crossroads. Continuing straight ahead and therefore keeping to the right (while on the left it is possible to detour to Malga Cambroncoi) you will reach an altitude of 1858 meters. During this stretch you can see a splendid view of the Lago delle Piazze and Mount Ceramont, above the town of Piazze. At this point, going left, you reach Prato di Campivel, on the slopes of Monte Costalta, and via a link road (path E404A) you connect to the last stretch of path E404 and reach the summit of the hill with its 1955 meters of altitude. Instead, continuing straight on until the end of the “Senter dei Russi”, the culmination is just above the Casara bivouac, on path E404. The return to the Redebùs Pass can take place on the same outward route or via Malga Cambroncoi.

Public transport

From the Trento bus station, take line B403 or line B402 towards Montesover and get off at Centrale di Bedollo. There is no public transport that connects the town of Centrale with the Redebus Pass therefore the place of departure must be reached by your own means.

From the A22 Brenner motorway (from the south exit Trento sud - from the north exit Trento north) and from the Brenner state road 12, continue on the S.S. 47 of the Valsugana for Pergine Valsugana - Padua up to the junction of the Mochena for the Piné plateau, and then transiting on the S.P. 83 by Piné. Just before the town of Centrale, take the provincial road SP224 towards Passo Redebus. After crossing the villages of Regnana and Pitoi, after about 5 km you will arrive at Passo Del Redebùs at an altitude of 1453 meters.
