Il Sentiero Attrezzato Francesco e Giuditta Gatti at Mont de la Brenva è an equipped route of difficult and difficult media; in the alpine environment, at the slopes of the Mont Blanc group. It leads to a panoramic plateau – the Belvedere – with a view between the pi` beautiful of all the Western Alps.

From the mountain station of the cable car of La Palud (Courmayeur, Aosta). Open road signs on Google Maps. We descend to the first stop of the route « The Palud–Punta Helbronner» and follow the path in a slight ascent next to the botanical garden Saussurea; at the first crossroad you will keep the left on a well-marked path that crosses the grassy slopes towards the moraine of the Toula glacier. A short stretch equipped with a chain exceeds some rocks and reaches a ' panoramic area with bench, where the equipped stretch begins (30' from the mountain station).

The equipped part starts going down the eastern shoe of Mont de la Brenva, with steep stretches in which the rope dà safety; a downhill section of III degree, not difficult, è supported by the chain. Continue on half-coast with climbs and descents, assisted by chain and brackets on the right side, and cross a pietraia (yellow signs); at the end a path goes steeply towards the rocks of Brenva to the Belvedere (2300 m, 1h 30' from' start of the stretch), with views of the Bremayn.

Path equipped not long and not difficult, but in the alpine environment and with exposed sections where the protections are essential; the view from the Belvedere is only a great reason to travel it.
