DOLOMITI DI BRENTA: MADONNA DI CAMPIGLIO & MOLVENO The Brenta Dolomites, Italy’s westernmost major incursion of Dolomite limestone. 42 RYDERWALKER.COM  |  888.586.8365 EUROPE A true hidden gem in the Alps, the Dolomiti di Brenta is bordered by the Swiss Alps to the west and the Austrian Alps to the north. Unlike the bulk of the Dolomites to the easy, where Austro-Hungarian history mixes with Ladin and Italian, the Dolomiti di Brenta enjoy a purely Italian culture and flavor. Beginning in the elegant and fashionable alpine village of Madonna di Campiglio, surrounded by the Adamello Brenta Nature Park, you’ll spend six days exploring high alpine lakes, quiet larch forests as well as striking out into the very heart of the Brenta Gruppo with its strategically placed and well-appointed huts. Highlights of the tour include a night in a spectacularly situated hut in the very heart of the range, a ridgeline ramble with views of the Trento Valley to the east, the Brenta Gruppo to the west and the spectacular Lago di Garda to south, and the lovely lakeside village of Molveno, perched right on the shores of one of the most beautiful lakes in the Alps.
