Presanella Wild is a unique mountaineering experience in the Eastern Alps, in the heart of the Adamello-Presanella group in Trentino. The itinerary leads to Cima Presanella, the highest summit in the province of Trento, experienced from a deeper and more immersive perspective thanks to an overnight stay at the evocative Bivacco Orobica, just below the summit.
This is not simply an ascent, but a prolonged high-altitude experience, where reaching the summit becomes part of a wider journey. A night in the bivouac, suspended between sky and glacier, amplifies every sensation: total silence, a star-filled sky and the authentic, essential dimension of the mountains.

Program
- Day 1 – The experience begins in the morning with the meeting with the guide in Pinzolo. From here, travel by car to Val Nambrone and continue to Malga Vallina (2,000 m), where the ascent begins.
The route climbs gradually towards high altitude, crossing an increasingly wild and fascinating environment until reaching Bivacco Orobica (3,382 m). The itinerary passes through Bocchetta di Monte Nero, among glacier landscapes, moraines and high-mountain scenery, immersed in a remote and spectacular setting.
The day ends with an overnight stay at altitude, surrounded by silence and the grandeur of the surrounding peaks.
- Day 2 – The day begins with the ascent towards the summit of Cima Presanella (3,558 m), the highest peak in Trentino, following an itinerary that enters the heart of the mountain’s glacier environment.
From the summit, the view opens across the main surrounding alpine ranges, before beginning the loop descent along the Vedretta di Nardis glacier and Passo dei Quattro Cantoni (2,809 m). The route gradually leads back down towards the valley, completing the experience among glaciers, high-altitude landscapes and the powerful beauty of the alpine environment.
