At the Foot of Adamello
There are hikes that surprise you step after step, changing face with every kilometer. Monte Cengledino, on the edge of the Adamello Brenta Nature Park, is one of them. With the Guidders, we’ll enjoy a circular trek through conifer forests, ancient alpine huts, panoramic ridgelines, and alpine lakes, immersed in one of the most captivating corners of western Trentino.
The experience
We’ll set off among pastures and woodland, following a trail that climbs steadily up to the summit of Monte Cengledino, where one of the most spectacular views in the area awaits us. From up here, your gaze takes in the Adamello Group, Presanella, the peaks of Val di Sole, and the mountains overlooking upper Val Rendena, offering a 360° panorama that rewards every meter of ascent.
From the summit, we’ll continue along a striking panoramic ridge, one of the most thrilling sections of the route, before beginning the descent toward the beautiful Valbona Lakes. Here the landscape changes once again: among scree slopes, high-altitude pastures, and rhododendrons, it will be easy to spot marmots whistling among the rocks, while above us we may see the short-toed snake eagle soaring, an elegant bird of prey that symbolizes mountain environments.
A break on the lakeshores will be the perfect moment to relax, photograph the reflections of the mountains, and observe the delicate alpine ecosystem that thrives around these crystal-clear bodies of water.
On the way back, the trail gradually re-enters the forest, where the meadows give way to conifers and the surroundings become cooler and more shaded. And, for those who wish, a final stop at Malga Cengledino will be the best way to round off this wonderful high-altitude day together with the Guidders.
