CREPER VAC
in the paradise of Val Breguzzo
In the Giudicarie there is a small paradise for ski touring in Val Breguzzo, that has its heart in the Refuge Trivena, animated by the legendary Dario.
The tour proposed here allows, in a relatively easy way, to admire the stunning views that can be seen from its peaks, ranging from the Adamello, to the Brenta, to the Carè Alto. Its difficulty is evaluated MS (average skier) to the final ridge, although the last 50 meters of the ridge require balance and a short climbing passage (III). For the less confident skialper a piece of rope can be useful, and crampons may be required, depending on conditions.
