Rifugio Segantini, located at 2,373 metres in the Italian Alps, offers breathtaking views of the Brenta Dolomites. The refuge honors painter Giovanni Segantini, featuring his portrait and embroidered name. Known for its less explored nature, the region attracts fewer tourists compared to other Dolomite areas. The newly launched Via delle Valli features a series of 50 hiking routes across Trentino's valleys, catering to a range of hikers from families to those seeking challenging adventures.
Thick white cloud hangs outside the windows of Rifugio Segantini, a mountain hut 2,373 metres up in the Italian Alps. But it is shifting, revealing glimpses of the majestic Brenta Dolomites before us: a patch of snow here, a craggy peak there.
The refuge is named after Italian landscape painter Giovanni Segantini, who was inspired by these mountains. His portrait hangs on the walls and his name is embroidered on the lace curtains.
Few come to Trentino, and fewer still come to this part of the Adamello Brenta nature park. This, I am told, is the wild part of these mountains: less explored, with fewer tourists.
I'm here to sample the new Via delle Valli (the Trail of the Valleys), a network of 50 hiking routes covering 50 of Trentino's mountain valleys, which launches this month.
