The Brenta Dolomites Experience

5 Day Trip Report

What began as a personal challenge became a 5-day traverse across the Brenta Dolomites — climbing ladders, crossing glaciers, and dodging alpine thunderstorms.
The route pushed my limits and inspired thousands online.

Bochetti Alte via ferrata Brenta Dolomites

Hut-to-Hut group trip

I’m organizing a small-group adventure on the Via delle Bocchette, the most iconic via ferrata traverse in the Brenta Dolomites.
It’s the same multi-day route I did (read my full report here, with ladders, ledges, glacier remnants, and cozy nights in mountain huts).

Everyone hikes in the Dolomites… but this isn’t one of those hikes. Day 1 of our 5-day hut-to-hut adventure through the Brenta Dolomites — mixing hiking, climbing, and via ferrata into one of the most challenging routes in Italy. From rain and fog to sketchy ledges and that first altitude beer at Rifugio Brentei — this day already tested us more than we expected. 🎒 Route: Grostè → Benini via ferrata → Rifugio Brentei #Dolomites #ViaFerrata #HutToHut #AdventureTravel #BrentaDolomites
