Dos dei Branchi is a small peak that offers an extraordinary view over Val di Fiemme.
The itinerary, not difficult, is suitable for everyone and takes place on large snow-covered ridges. The stretch that leads to Baito della Bassa is frequented, therefore tracks are visible almost all the time, while the next one that climbs to Dos dei Branchi is less known.
The Agnello chairlift allows you to comfortably reach an altitude of 2180 meters. For this reason the itinerary has a small difference in height.
Bezpečnostní pokyny

Always check the local avalanche before departure and make sure you gather all possible information concerning current conditions from the local Mountain Guides. GPS tracks are merely indicative of the more standard routes but must not be followed blindly without first checking current slope and terrain conditions. Correct orientation may be a problem at times along the higher stretches of this route due to fog or low cloud cover.
