Tour of refuges (F.F. Tuckett and Q. Sella, Casinei) - Description

A classic itinerary starting high in the mountains to see some of the Brenta Dolomites’ most famous alpine shelters. The incredible panorama is ample reward for the exertion of the hike.
An amazing, high-altitude hike in the company of the vertical faces of the central section of the Brenta Dolomites, along rolling false flats with amazing views of the Rendena Valley and the Adamello-Presanella mountain range.
