A hike in the impressive Val d’Ambiez: from San Lorenzo in Banale uphill to the Rifugio Al Cacciatore beneath the towers of the Brenta Dolomites
Image gallery: Hike through the Ambiez
Our itinerary from the Ristoro Dolomiti di Brenta, a refreshment point at the entrance of the Val d'Ambiez to the Rifugio Al Cacciatore presents an elevation gain of 1,000 m a.s.l. We park our car near the refreshment point and begin our hike on an unpaved path. After 500 metres, we take path no. 325 branching off on the right, which leads us through alpine meadows to the abandoned Malga Laon, before rejoining the unpaved path. Near the "Pont de Broca" we cross a narrow gorge, formed by the waters of the Rio Ambiez which flows on the rocky side of the gorge.
Path no. 325 branches off towards Malga Senaso di Sotto and continues along some bends in a mixed forest before reaching a flat pasture surrounded by rock walls, from where we proceed towards Rifugio Al Cacciatore. Unfortunately, the clouds limit our view of the surrounding peaks, but nevertheless, we enjoyed the impressive nature and quietness of these wonderful places.
