🤩 What are we doing?

Tough and long hike, with about 1,500 meters of total elevation gain from Malga Sorgazza to Cima d'Asta. The first part is a long valley following the CAI 327 trail, which leads to the Rifugio Ottone Brentari. A long granite slab is found at the end, but easily overcome with a constant pace. From the Refuge towards the Cima, you go over the "Forzeleta", where there are some steel cables to descend, and then follow along the wide valley of granite rock. Large boulders take us to the summit of Cima d'Asta, where there is a summit cross and, just a little lower down, a small Bivouac.

🏔 Curiosities of the place

Cima d'Asta is the most famous peak in the geographical area of Lagorai, between the Venetian Prealps and the Dolomites. It is an area rich in paths and unique, still not very touristy. From the summit cross, you can admire a breathtaking 360-degree panorama. To the north, you can admire the Lagorai chain, to the west the Brenta pinnacles and to the east the Pale di San Martino. Also known for the presence of the Cima d'Asta lake, which is located along the path to the summit.

🎯 Practical advice

It is recommended, especially for the less trained, to divide the excursion into two days. The first day from Malga Sorgazza to reach the Brentari Refuge (where there are bookable beds). Second day dedicated to the climb to Cima d'Asta and return to the Malga Sorgazza parking lot. Bring plenty of water.
