Itinerary in high altitude over the glaciers and peaks of Adamello, following many traces of the First World War (like the Cannon on the summit of Cresta Croce and the Rifugio Caduti dell’Adamello). Numerous glaciologic issues, created by the erosion of the glaciers, give this itinerary many hints to learn from.
