After three hours of walking, we reach the bottom of the valley, now you must climb to the refuge. We arrive at the shelter Breinti very tired (2150 m). We settle and order the meal.
For starters it's pasta or soup and the main course is quite rich! I tried the polenta with mushrooms and a huge slice of baked cheese, ending with an apple pie recommended by the waitress and grappa !! I was seated and I slept like a baby in this refuge that has been swallowed by the clouds in the evening.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next morning, via ferrata equipment kindly lent by Michele, we continue the climb to the top. At first pass' 'Bocca di Brenta', we are blown away by the scenery of these giant rocks. The hike continues in the snow. We arrive at the second shelter on the trail 304 renamed 358. And we climb, we climb, we climb, we follow all the mountainous circus of Tosa . Lunch time and we begin the via ferrata! Descent in a new valley, this time faster because we have to take the scales.

Hikers advise us to pass by the Antiposti refuge. We go down in the snow to go up by steep mountain side located to the West, by the Bocchetta dei Due Denti. A bit exhausted we catch our breath before climbing the passage of this monstrous mountain. A via ferrata in which we climb of at least 300 in 20 minutes using ladders hung on the wall, incredible experience, especially when you find yourself at the top of the mountain. Here is the trail we did (green line)

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We go down to the refuge Augostini, we arrive at 5pm (time at which we should have taken our bus 500 m lower altitude, as you say that it was well and truly fucked up), we still have 4 hours of walking down and after that we have to give back the via ferrata equipement to Michele.
We begin a frantic downhill, jumping between rocks and multiple zigzag trail. We arrive to the forest. A hiker tells us that we are on the wrong path, we take another path that made us get to the lake !! NOOOOOO !! It is not at all what we wanted. We are frustrated, tired and we must go back. Once at the top, we take the main road to go down. The village is still far, we have at least two hours and it starts to get late (7pm)
We stop at a shelter to ask directions, suddenly! The rangers car rangers we had previously crossed is going down the road. Paolo runs to catch them.
They take us. I am so happy to not have to go down the mountain, my legs are too tired. They leave us at the bus stop. The bus runs in 5 minutes, while the guard offers us to go carry the equipment itself to the house of Michele. (Just amazing)
Once on the bus, we stop at the terminus 'Trione'. We are still far from Rovereto and even looking to find a place to sleep. But the problem is that Trione, there is nothing. One solution, the auto stop until Trento ..
After a good half hour attempt is Johan, a Serbian driver stops. It takes us to Trento and he did even better than that! He made sure we were on time to catch the last train to Rovereto, a few speedings.
We arrive at the station and take the train in failing to believe what had happened during the previous 2 hours.
In Rovereto, we spend the night at Paolo's friends place after eating a gelato!
