WHY THIS HIKE

The Val Miller and Baitone loop

Two valleys, two passes and three historic huts.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Malga Premassone on a loop in the heart of the Adamello park linking the wild Val Miller to the Baitone basin. We cross two spectacular alpine passes, the Passo del Gatto and the Passo del Cristallo, with views over glacial lakes and granite walls. Along the way we take in three historic huts — the Gnutti, the Baitone and the Tonolini — each one facing a different alpine lake.

5 reasons to come - three historic huts in a single loop - the Passo del Gatto and the Passo del Cristallo - the glacial lakes of the Baitone basin - the Val Miller, among the wildest in Lombardy - the granite walls at the foot of the Adamello

Who it suits A demanding route with two high passes: excellent fitness and a sure step are needed.

One of the most complete circuits in the Adamello: come and do it with the Guidders.
