Description also available in Italian and German
The path starts from Campo Carlo Magno, at the Grostè cableway. Get off it at the highest station and turn left on the trail n°316, descending towards the Tuckett refuge. The trail is almost all over the stone, panoramas on the Presanella, Adamello and on the Brenta Mountains are astonishing.
You'll reach the refuge Tuckett after 4 km, the difference in height is affordable (descending 300 meters, ascending 100 meters). There is also a hostel, it could be possible to stay here for the night. We just stopped for lunch (here we had the best lunch of our trip: "polenta" with cheese and mushrooms), before keeping descending towards the Vallesinella refuge.
The distance between the Tuckett and the Vallesinella refuge is 5 km, descending in height for almost 800 meters.
During the descent you'll find the Casinei Refuge, suitable for a break, and also some mountaind streams.
From Vallesinella parking you can take the bus to come back to Campo Carlo Magno, closing the ring road to the starting point. Be carefull with the timetable, bus are not available after late afternoon!
