Their bold rock towers, deep notches and steep, brightly gleaming faces arose from the deposits of a prehistoric tropical sea, whose limestone, during the folding of the Alps, produced the typical, bizarre forms of the Dolomites. Since 2009 the Brenta, as part of the Dolomites, has belonged to the UNESCO World Heritage, recognised for its extraordinary scenic beauty and its geological importance as a testimony to the Earth's history.<\/p>\n<p>A special role in the history of exploration was played by British alpinists of the 19th century: an early pioneer, Francis Fox Tuckett, is still recalled today by one of the best-known mountain huts of the group. In the Brenta arose, with the Via delle Bocchette, one of the most famous via ferrata systems of the Alps, which, with ladders and steel cables, leads along dizzying rock ledges right across the vertical faces and makes bold high-level routes possible. The region is at the same time a refuge of the brown bear, which has been reintroduced in the adjoining Adamello-Brenta Nature Park and has found here one of its last refuges in the Alpine region. Thus in the Brenta Dolomites the Earth's history, alpine pioneering tradition and wild nature combine into an unmistakable mountain world that glows, in the light of the evening sun, in that warm red which has earned the Dolomites their legendary reputation.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#221c1a;color:#fff;border-radius:10px;padding:18px 22px;margin-top:28px;\"><strong style=\"font-size:1.08em;\">Related<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:6px 0 12px;color:#d8d2cc;font-size:14px;\">To make your trip run smoothly , our guides and gear tips for this destination:<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:10px;\"><a href=\"\/en\/wanderschuhe\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Hiking boots \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/schichtenprinzip-bekleidung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Layering guide for clothing \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/packliste-tages-bergwanderung\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Day-tour packing list \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/packliste-huettentour\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Hut-tour packing list \u2192<\/a><a href=\"\/en\/huettenwandern-einsteiger\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f25353;color:#fff;padding:9px 16px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;\">Hut hiking for beginners \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Die Brenta-Gruppe ist das einzige Dolomitenmassiv westlich der Etsch und Teil des Naturparks Adamello-Brenta.
