Where are they located?
The Dolomites of Brenta are located in Trentino-Alto Adige, specifically in the province of Trento, within the Adamello Brenta Nature Park. They belong to the Rhaetian Alps and are situated between the Val di Non, Val di Sole, Valli Giudicarie, and Val Rendena.
They are the only entirely Trentino Dolomite group and, being located west of the Adige Valley, they are considered outside the traditional Dolomite range.
What are they like?
The Dolomites of Brenta consist of a group of rock towers, spires, and pinnacles surrounded by hundreds of marvelous natural landscapes, stretching for about 40 km from north to south and about 12 km from east to west.
They are divided into three parts: the southern part, mainly frequented in summer; the central part, the most famous and visited; and the northern part, home to a small colony of brown bears.
To the delight of mountaineers and climbers, eight of the peaks in this group exceed 3,000 meters - and most of them still exceed 2,500 meters. The Dolomites of Brenta also host numerous lakes, with the most famous ones being Lake Molveno (the largest) and Lake Tovel.
