Hard snow on Monte Gazza

Vista Lake Garda, Monte Casale and

meets Alm Gazza.

The group Paganella-Gazza separates the Valley of the Lakes (which leads to Lake Garda Trento) from the Brenta Group.

While the top of Paganella is completely intoxicated by the plants, the other two hills that mark the group from north to south are still intact.
To reach the most southern - the Monte Gazza - you have to take by car to the village of Margone Vezzano , perched on a small plateau still cultivated. This handful of holiday surprises for the sign that welcomes visitors "Margone - where silence is golden". Leave the car in the country (there is none and the silence is absolute) climbs to the right following the road that leads to the small cemetery and continue for a few hundred yards until the sign ban on driving with the (quota of 1,000, there would also be a tiny space to park one or two cars).
This paved forest road closed to traffic but climbs for 500 meters uphill to Alm Gazza (or hut, or Gagia Ranzo), and this is the path I did. In the winter, in fact, the path of S. Anthony is unnecessarily difficult because they are too steep.
The ascent is no history in the woods until, having reached an altitude of 1,500, the road comes out on the lawns in front of a hut of stone (currently under renovation) dominated by large beech trees which for convenience I will call "Bait Gazza."

Only a few meters higher than the two buildings here Magpie Hut (1,550 meters). It is to win a final small climb and then you come out on the vast shelf of Monte Gazza, with landscape really wide open.

threaded view of the Brenta Group: Monte Gazza is virtually devoid of a real peak in summer is a long and wide alpine meadow suspended between Val Adige and the Brenta with some undulations and a low, inaudible on the upward side of the Adige Valley .

This hard snow and ice you proceed with ease even without snowshoes, I stop to photograph at a Baitella stone where you can also sit. Total time net of support 3.45 hours.
