The Sentiero Attrezzato de le Stel is a rather easy route of the Val d’Adige, with some equipped passages and a short climbable stretch. Developing at low altitude, it is recommended in winter or early season, when high altitudes are not yet available.
From the village of Aldeno, in Val d’Adige south of Trento. You can reach the town of La Busa along Via al Bondone, where a road climbs steeply west: you look for parking nearby and take the cemented road (open up Google Maps). It climbs through the vineyards following the CAI 631 on a carrareccia, ignoring some traces that detach to the right and left, up to a panoramic point with benches (40′ from the parking lot). You face some harmless stretches equipped, then you leave 631 on the waterfall path, you reconnect briefly on 631 and finally you leave it to take the path F01, that is the Sentiero Attrezzato de le Stel, well marked by the white-red signs of the CAI (620 m, 1h from the parking lot).
The path winds halfway on good track, with some easy balconies equipped with metal fixtures that facilitate its passing; alternate stretches of easy path to short stretches equipped steep but easy, until you reach the Madonna characteristic of the route, where a bench invites you to stop and admire the Val d’Adige with its vineyards and orchards. Once again the path, now narrower, you arrive at a narrow rocky nod rather exposed but properly equipped; finished the nod, the slope increases on small balconies and equipped rocks. It is the most interesting part: you can climb the easy steps, never higher than the II degree, keeping the equipment as self-insurance. You then earn steeply up to a pole with a sign that marks the end of the Sentiero de le Stel (about 1h30 from the beginning of the equipped part, 2h30 overall).
The route is not difficult, even if a section climbs through easy climbing steps. The most challenging part is probably to find the way in the first half: the track is not marked impeccablely and sometimes it serves a bit of breath to understand the continuation in the wood between the dungs.
Low altitude (max 808 m): it is one of the ideal routes for winter or early season. The technical difficulties are contained, but it should be faced with dry rock, given some exposed traits.
From the end of the path you climb for a short stretch in the woods, then take the descent alternating stretches on forest in and out of the woods; you proceed without difficulty in parallel with the Sentiero de le Stel until you reconnect on 631 and continue the descent (2h from the end of the equipped path, 4h30 total).
From Aldeno you can reach quickly, along the Val d’Adige, the village of Mori, where the exposition rises Ferrata Marangoni; not far away is easy and panoramic Somator Ferrata. In Val d’Adige you can also walk Ferrata Rio Secco near Cadino, while climbing to Trento meet the Sentiero Attrezzato Bertotti and the difficult Ferrata Segata bondone.
