Bocchetta del Campaniletto dei Camosci (Ascent elevation gain 380m – Descent 1600m - Difficulty BS)

<p>The proposed excursion features characteristics typical of “freeride” routes, characterized by little ascent (thanks to the use of ski lifts) and lots of descent.</p>

The route takes place in a very scenic area of the Brenta Dolomites, where you ski surrounded by high rocky walls in a wild and evocative environment. The descent to Vallesinella and then to Val Brenta requires good snow cover even at low altitude (the arrival point is at 1190m altitude) and for the return, a second car or a taxi is necessary.

Safety information

This tour requires settled snow, especially on the ascent section below the east face of Cima Grostè, as well as in the descent couloir (45° slope).

The stability of the snow cover is subject to sudden and unpredictable changes. Always consult the avalanche bulletin (www.meteotrentino.it) and get detailed information on current conditions from the Alpine Guide offices.

For this reason, the information contained in this sheet may have changed. Before setting out, check the state of the route by contacting the refuge manager on your path, the alpine guides, the visitor centers of natural parks, and tourist offices.

Equipment

For all off-piste ski excursions, it is recommended to wear appropriate clothing even in case of sudden temperature drops and that does not get wet in contact with snow (waterproof clothing such as Gore-Tex). Gloves, hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen should also be part of each group member’s usual equipment.

Remember that ski boots that are too tight or not sufficiently waterproof can cause early signs of frostbite to the feet.

It is MANDATORY to carry avalanche self-rescue equipment, including ARTVA- shovel-probe (which can also be rented).

A helmet or other active protection systems (such as backpacks with ABS-Airbag systems) are strongly recommended.

On this route, crampons and/or ice screws may be useful in case of icy snow.
