Versante Sud Alpinismo Facile in Trentino Alto Adige Vol.2 is a truly impressive guidebook of easy mountaineering routes.
The second volume, dedicated to the eastern valleys, offers 116 climbs selected from the 24 mountain groups east of the Adige Valley: Breonie di Levante, Alpi Aurine, Monti di Predoi, Monti di Fundres, Vedrette di Ries, Monti di Casies, Gruppo delle Odle-Puez, Gruppo delle Fanes-Senes-Braies, Dolomiti di Sesto, Gruppo del Catinaccio, Gruppo del Sella-Sassolungo, Gruppo del Latemar, Marmolada Group, Cima Bocche Chain, Lagorai Chain, Cima d’Asta Group, Pale di San Martino, Feltrine Alps, Schiara Group, Cima Dodici Chain, Little Dolomites, Grappa Massif, Col Nudo-Cavallo Group, Lessini Mountains.
The proposed routes are selected for their panoramic views and for their difficulty: there are no itineraries with alpine difficulties beyond grade II, but not all the climbs are excursionist walks: some require knowledge of glacier progression, the use of a via ferrata set, and the ability to move with one’s hands.
Lastly, there are proposals for almost all seasons: in both volumes we find itineraries in the true Alpine arc with high altitudes and ice, to be hiked in midsummer, as well as itineraries on mountain groups closer to the Po Valley, which can therefore be hiked until late autumn or winters with little precipitation.
