Image gallery: Hike from Molveno to the Brenta Dolomites
In Molveno we take the cable car, which takes us to the Pradel highlands at 1,350 metres a.s.l., offering breathtaking views on Molveno, its beautiful lake and the Paganella mountain range in the background. Having arrived at the Brenta Mountain Hut, we follow trail no. 340 towards the “Rifugio Croz dell’Altissimo”.
After leading through a dense wood, the trail offers a spectacular view on the Dolomites before it gets narrower and closer to the mountain cliffs. We even cross a small tunnel cut into the mountain. Despite a few clouds of fog, the view on the Dolomites is wonderful. After about one hour of hiking we arrive at the Croz dell'Altissimo Mountain Hut.
We are lucky enough to hear the last part of a concert of the Coro di S. Ilario, one of many bands performing at the I Suoni delle Dolomiti music festival. Afterwards we taste some typical Trentino dishes in the mountain hut. From here, alpinists can follow many different mountain paths and trails into the heart of the Brenta Dolomites. After a short rest we decide to return on the same panoramic trail and enjoy the wonderful views before we take the cable car down to Molveno again.
This hiking tour is an insiders' tip for all of you who want to enjoy a great and unspoiled natural landscape without too much effort.
