DETAILED PROGRAM:
Day 1 | Ponte del Guat - Corno delle Granate - Rifugio Tonolini
Departure from the Ponte del Guat car park and climb to the Conca del Baitone. A short stop at the refuge of the same name and then we continue towards the Tonolini Refuge, our support point for this 3-day trip, where we can lighten our backpacks and refresh ourselves, and then continue our journey, in an increasingly wild environment, until we reach the typical Adamello scree. Passing through the beautiful Laghi Gelati, natural bodies of water where you can admire the reflection of many peaks above 3000m, we reach the final part of the climb that will take us to the summit of Corno delle Granate.
The view of the Conca del Baitone and the surrounding peaks is magnificent.
After having lunch at the summit, we will return to the refuge in the afternoon, for a well-deserved relaxation.

Departure from the refuge after an excellent breakfast towards Passo del Cristallo. The final stretch before the pass has very beautiful and adrenaline-filled passages, equipped with chains and with a certain exposure.
Once we reach the pass we will continue on an easy ridge with a trail, until we reach an area with granite slabs, after which we will tackle the last stretch on the usual scree and reach the summit of this splendid mountain.
Cima Plem is one of the best balconies to admire the Adamello and the view will leave us breathless, being able to also admire many other peaks and lakes.
After filling our eyes with wonder and having eaten our packed lunch, we will descend towards Val Miller and, after a short stop at the Rifugio Gnutti, we will reach the Rifugio Premassone, near the parking lot, after which we will be able to celebrate the end of these intense 3 days of trekking.
