Adamello North Face

ZOOM ++

During the "White war" Val d'Avio was a fundamental route to furnish the mountain Front and it was incessantly used by the Alpine troops, so much so that it became one of the symbols of the conflict in the Alps. This outing leads directly beneath the imposing North face of Mount Adamello which hosts a selection of extremely famous alpine climbs, before descending down the spectacular Val d'Avio, past 5 dams built during the 1950's to create hydroelectic electricity.
