  Go up to the Stramaiolo Alta hut along the grass lawn. The hut it's clearly visible east of the car park and about 60/70m height difference higher. Reached the dirt road near Malga Stramaiolo Alta (1737m) go across the street at the Sat signs (white and red signpost) go past the pasture fence and continue uphill along the grass lawn. The path climbs to the right of a small house. At the beginning of the path there are some high wooden steps. Once you have passed the stretch in the grass lawn, you enter into the wood upstream of the hut and continue the climb towards the Campivel pass. At the Campivel pass (1831m) take the Sat path nr. 443 (E5a) which rises from the Stramaiolo Bassa hut. Turn right and proceed north-east and then east on the Sat path nr. 443 (E5a). The path up to the Sprugio - G. Tonini hut has an up-and-down trend and you have to overcome only 70m in altitude with a development of 1.5-1.8km. The Sprugio - G. Tonini (1900m) is reached from the south by climbing a last short ramp up to the building. The return takes place along the outward route.

Tips for the tour

Did you know that fossil remains of the prehistoric reptile Tridentinosaurus antiquus have been found near Malga Stramaiolo? This is obviously an exceptional find, unique in the world, also for conservation. In fact, the animal's skin and tissues have been preserved instead of bones, as is normally the case. It is currently kept in the Museum of Padua.

Directions

self-arranged arrival
Reach Valsugana and exit from the SS 47 della Valsugana at Civezzano and follow the signs for Altopiano di Pinè. Go through Baselga di Pinè and continue past the two lakes of Serraia and Piazze towards Bedollo. One kilometer before the town of Bedollo, turn right towards Passo del Redebus, Regnana. After Regnana, going up, about 1 km before the Redebus pass, at a hairpin bend to the right, go straight on to Malga Stramaiolo (sign). The road continues narrow but asphalted in the woods untill the "parking lot A", just few minutes from Malga Stramaiolo (1670m) where there is a ban on driving. From Valsugana it is possible to climb to the Redeus pass also passing through the Mocheni Valley. The road is longer and not very smooth.
Parking place A, at Malga Stramaiolo

public transport
From the Trento bus station, take line B403 towards Montesover (Trento - Pergine - Baselga di Pinè - Montesover) or line B402 (Trento - Nogarè - Baselga di Pinè -Montesover) and get off at Centrale di Bedollo. There is no public transport that connects the town of Bedollo with the Redebus Pass therefore the starting point must be reached by your own means.
