BRENTA DOLOMITES + GARDA LAKE
( 2 Natural Parks in 1 week!) Trekking in the Dolomites of Brenta, the most western group of Dolomiti in the Italian Alps is something special. This mountain group is not so big and, although 3 days is too short to see it all, one will have a great sense of its beauty: huge rocky peaks, small glaciers and amusing digger paths: "The Bocchette", impressive passages excavated into the rock of these beautiful faces.
All the huts are very comfortable and the classic food "minestrone and spaghetti" are at home, as well as "beef", "deer with polenta", "Canederli" and many more typical Italian foods and wine.
The Brenta Group is located not far from Garda Lake, where we shall go for the next 4 days! Western Europe's biggest lake and one of the most beautiful, for its landscape, climate and touristy attractions. Here we shall experience the spectacular "Canyoning": The new frontier of the exploration of the mountains, walking down rivers and Canyons. Then a couple of days of relaxing walking above the Lake will take our trek to the End.

From June 12th - To September 26th
