Day 2 is the signature stage: a long climb to Rifugio Monte Peller, one of the wildest and most authentic places in the Brenta.Day 3 crosses the massif from Val di Non to Val di Sole, ending at Rifugio Graffer in a spectacular Dolomite setting. And the final day is the grand finale: a long, flowing descent all the way back to Lake Garda – closing a journey that's complete, intense and truly memorable.

Itinerary

Day 1 – Arco → Andalo
Sarca Valley – Lago di Toblino – Gateway to the Dolomites
Start in Arco, right in the heart of Garda Trentino. The route follows the Sarca Valley north – still Mediterranean in feel, with olive trees and warm air. Past Lago di Toblino, the landscape shifts: the valley narrows, the mountains close in and the transition from lake to alpine begins.Arrival in Andalo in the afternoon.
The transition begins: lake atmosphere to mountain air

Day 2 – Andalo → Rifugio Monte Peller
The signature stage – long climb, wild terrain, hut night
The defining day of the tour. A sustained climb through forest and open terrain leads up to Rifugio Monte Peller – one of the most remote and authentic spots in the Brenta. Far from any road, far from any crowd.Overnight in the rifugio.
Wild, authentic, far from mass tourism

Day 3 – Rifugio Monte Peller → Rifugio Graffer
Crossing the massif – Val di Non to Val di Sole
A day of crossing: from Val di Non through the heart of the Brenta massif to Val di Sole. Dramatic rock faces, wide panoramas and a genuine sense of being deep in the mountains.
Arrival at Rifugio Graffer, in a spectacular Dolomite setting.
Full Dolomites – rock, panoramas, alpine atmosphere

Day 4 – Rifugio Graffer → Arco / Lake Garda
The grand finale – 3,000+ metres of descent
The last day is pure reward. From the rifugio, a long, flowing descent takes you all the way from the Dolomites back to Arco and Lake Garda. Over 3,000 metres of elevation loss – one of the most rewarding descents imaginable.The landscape reverses the journey: rock to forest, forest to vineyards, vineyards to lake.
