Alta Via dell'Adamello Map

Cross the Adamello Nature Park in the heart of the Rhaetian Alps on this high alpine trail. From start to finish you barely brush past signs of modern civilisation, hopping from remote mountain hut to remote mountain hut where you can enjoy traditional hearty Italian alpine cuisine at the end of each day’s long hike. You will be completely immersed in the high alpine world surrounded by many 2500er peaks and passing multiple alpine lakes with the distinctive and enticing bright turquoise water. The route takes you between Lombardy and Trentino and is well signed throughout.
