Sentiero Attrezzato Baglioni – Pasubio

⚠ SENTIERO CHIUSO The Path Attrezzato Baglioni is currently closed due to a dangerous landslide along the way. Do not venture until the official reopening confirmed by the local CAI or the Park Authority.

Path Attrezzato, titled at Pasquale Baglioni, runs on the western side of Pasubio, in the Prison Valley, in an area full of testimonies of the First World War. The route starting from Pian delle Fugazze is as interesting from the historical point of view as varied in the environments, with equipped sections, galleries and belvederi on the valley below.

▲Approach

From Pian delle Fugazze (wide park at the pass, reachable from Rovereto or Schio, directions road map) cross the road to the north and climb to the CAI path 179 (‘Strada degli Eroi’), a track that will also travel back. The path shortens the bends of the road and arrives at Malga Val di Fieno, where you leave the path 170 for the Pope Refuge and follow the signs for the Path Attrezzato Baglioni with CAI 141 marker (1645 m, 1h15′ from the parking lot).

▲The path

The path continues halfway, cutting the southern dorsal of the Cima Palon. The first equipped sections, with cables that act more as a handrail than as a true protection, accompany a slight loss of altitude. The view of the valley below and overhead reliefs is remarkable for all progression. You reach the most challenging passage: a rocky canal with unstable and fragrant background, descended while keeping on the right side with the help of cambre. After about 1h15′ from the beginning of the Baglioni Path, two galleries cross the rock without requiring the torch. After the tunnels go up a green valley up to a crossroads: on the left the Homo Pass, straight the continuation (1h45′ from the beginning, 3h total).

▲Character and difficulty

Classified Hard. The canal with franous background is the most technical passage; the traits equipped in the rest of the route have difficulty contained. The added value is the unique historical-alpinistic environment of the Pasubio with its galleries and testimonies of the Great War.

⚠ Attention to the afternoon fog, characteristic of the Pasubio and frequent even in summer. Prefer the morning hours for the excursion.
▲Period and safety

The trail is currently closed. When reopened, the recommended season is from May to October. Always check the opening status at the local CAI before leaving.

▲Discipline

From the end of the Sentiero Baglioni follow the path 135 towards the right with indications for the General Pope's Refuge. You can go down to the refuge or continue at altitude through tunnels and war finds, grafting on the path to the Pope from Pian delle Fugazze and going down to the fork (2h30′ from the end, 5h45′ total).

▲To match

The small Dolomites offer great value itineraries including Alpine trail Falcipieri, il Sentiero Attrezzato al Monte Cornetto, la Ferrata Campalani, il Pojesi Path at Carega, la Ferrata Biasin, la Ferrata Viali e la Ferrata Ezio Ferrari.
