Six days on cable and ladder, two nights in mountain huts. Six days with a guide at one to four, both huts booked and the full kit provided.
Six days on the Bocchette — the oldest and most famous via ferrata system in the Alps, cut into the Brenta between the wars.

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.

Once you are in the huts you stay in them — the Bocchette is a high traverse and coming down each night is not practical.

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.

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

Day 5
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.
10 meal services named in the itinerary. Vegetarian and vegan covered; Jain, gluten-free and allergies on notice at booking
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.
