Madonna di Campiglio Inn
Hotel or lodge, twin sharing
6 days, planned by Cypress & Stone
Six days on the Bocchette — the oldest and most famous via ferrata system in the Alps, cut into the Brenta between the wars.

| Madonna di Campiglio |
| Brenta Dolomites |
The Benini is the gentle end of the Bocchette system and it is where the guides find out who is comfortable with exposure and who is not.

| Passo Grostè |
| Sentiero Benini |
| Cima Falkner |
Once you are in the huts you stay in them — the Bocchette is a high traverse and coming down each night is not practical.
| LANDMARKS |

| Rifugio Tuckett |
| Vallesinella |
| Brenta walls |
The route follows ledges blasted into the face with ladders between them, several hundred metres above the valley for most of the day. It is the reason people come.

| Ledge system |
| Ladders |
The Alte is the harder of the two Bocchette and the day ends 1,700 m lower than it started. Knees, again.

Verona is about two hours and has the connections.

5 breakfasts and 5 dinners across 6 days, at the lodges you sleep in. It opens with dinner on day 1 and closes with breakfast on day 6.

“Walking in Europe with the timed tickets booked at release”
A walking operator whose main skill is administrative: Alhambra slots, Sagrada tickets and hut beds, booked the day they open.
Long transfer at both ends that isn't obvious from the listing. Budget a day either side.
Thank you for travelling with us — glad the route worked out.
Did this over 6 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it.
Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be.
Second trek with this operator and they've kept the standard up. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Recommended.
Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.
The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Solid operator.
Trentino in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Sleeping under canvas at that height is cold work and the kit was up to it. Would book with them again.
Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Thanks for writing this up. We've passed your note to the team.

Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.
No, but you need a head for heights that you have actually tested. Via ferrata is not technically difficult — you clip a lanyard to a cable and walk — and it is relentlessly exposed. Day two is graded easy precisely so people find out on a short route rather than halfway across the Centrali.
