Overview
From the bivouac toward Cima Dodici at the sunrise in summer.Its complete denomination is Bivacco "Ruggero Lenzi" alla Busa delle Dodese in memory of the local alpinist Ruggero Lenzi who was active between the two world wars.
It is a very comfortable logistic point for who has to climb Cima Dodici or is engaged into an historycal hiking tour into the old WWI front of struggle.
This zone has no technical difficulties, but some orientation problems because of the summit land is a plateau with many hills. Its interest is above all of geographic and historical nature. Large panorama toward north and many hikers route toward south!
In case of fog or snow all the guidelines can become truly difficult because the paths on the land are more numerous than those brought back from the cartography.

1) From South by car from Asiago. Along the Val d'Assa SP349 until the cross with the white road of Val di Galmarara (on the right side). From here 9 Km on white road until the parking place of Malga Galmarara (m. 1,614).

The hiking route here
described follows when possible the ancient roads of war and not the
alpine paths. It is a little longer and little more “historian” but the
time of distance changes little. And so: from the parking to always
follow the old road of war; to leave on the left the bivouac Tre Fontane and to continue until the Bivio Italia crossroad where the
Baito Italia bivouac is found. To continue along the military road of
right until catching up the Baito del Cuvolin bivouac (m. 2,021),
situated to right and similar in its aspect to the Bivacco Italia
bivouac. Here you must abandon the war road and follow instead the
indications that leave from the left side of the road and lead to the
Busa delle Dodese bivouac. Famous: this path is the shortly one but is
not brought back in the cartography! ● Unevenness: m. 436. ● Time in order to go up: 3,00 hours. ● Time in order to return: 2,30 hours. ● CAI degree of difficulty: T (tourist). |
● Very easy but quite long path. Pay attention during the section Baito del Cuvolin-Bivacco Busa delle Dodese because in case of fog or snow you can have orientation problems (the signs on the land are not more visible). ● The Tre Fontane bivouac (owner: section ANA of Marostica-Vicenza) is always open with large place for eating and 2-4 sleeping places with mattresses without covered. ● The two other bivouacs "Baito Italia" and "Baito del Cuvolin" must be considered only as emergency recovers because no comfort is here: no mattresses, no covered! |
|
2) From North by car from Borgo Valsugana. To follow the indications for the Val di Sella valley following its left street (Olle) until the fourth hairpin curve. On the left space in order to park the car to quota m. 700.
● When to climb: summer, fall, not on winter. ● Essential gear on summer: hiking shoes, wind jacket and water. |
To set off along the dirt
road until meeting marks SAT 211 and SAT 213. To always follow path SAT
311 along the steep Vallon delle Trappole until in a gravelly walloon
under the slopes of Cima Undici top. ● Unevenness: m. 1,350. ● Time in order to go up: 4,00 hours. ● Time in order to return: 2,30 hours. ● CAI degree of difficulty: EE (only for expert hikers). |
● The feature along the Vallon delle Trappole is much steep and laborious one. There are some iron chains for helping your climb. Remember: don't use this path during winter: avalanche danger! ● Essential gear on winter: this distance does not go faced during the snowy season! |
