Versante Sud Valsugana e Canale del Brenta trekking guide

Versante Sud Valsugana e Canale del Brenta is a trekking guide that includes 45 excursions and 5 routes in stages that will allow you to make the most of this exceptional territory.

The valley of the Brenta river originates from the lakes of Caldonazzo and Lévico and after a descent of about seventy-five kilometers, flanked by extensive mountain ranges and mighty massifs, it reaches the Venetian plain at Bassano del Grappa. The medium-high part, wider and more open, is the Valsugana, while the lower part, sometimes enclosed in the form of a gigantic canyon, is called Canale del Brenta.

This incredible variety of morphologies allows excursions for all tastes and difficulties: from the large and solitary glacial cirques, to the granite architectures of the Cime di Rava and Cima d'Asta, or to the gentle openings of pasture and the soft ridges broken by porphyritic outcrops of the Lagorài , the “dolomitic” profiles of the Vigolana, the mighty wall of Cima Dodici marked by spectacular chamois trails or the fascinating “narrow” of the Brenta Canal, along whose flanks there are marvelous cobbled mule tracks that connect ancient districts.

Paolo Bonetti and Marco Rocca are the authors of this guide, which as lovers and connoisseurs of these areas and of the mountains in general will allow you to discover and fall in love with these spectacular and wild areas.
