The Osvaldo Orsi Path (3.5 hour) is the easiest of the assisted routes in the Brenta Group, but is of considerable scenic interest nonetheless. The path, which links the Tuckett with the Pedrotti Mountain-Hut, in fact traverse the whole East base of the Cima Brenta and the Sfulmini. Starting from the Tuckett Hut, one need to cross the Boccca of the same name and descend down a steep snow covered gorge on the opposite side. The first stretch of the itinerary traverse, at an altitude of 2400m, the base of the imposing East face of the Cima Brenta (1). After negiotiating a fairly undemanding natural ledge known as the "Aega Alta" (2; check out this!), and equipped with a metal cord, we descend into a huge detritic basin surrounded on three sides by superb rock-faces: the Cima degli Armi, the Cima Molveno, the Spallone del Baratieri and the elegant Punta Jolanda.

Just afterwards, a small terrace at the foot of the Campanili dei Armi reveals one of the finest views of the Brenta (3, or this): the spectacular geological structures of the Catena degli Sfulmini with the formidable East face of the Brenta Alta, the distinctive Campanile Basso and Campanile Alto, the jagged crest of the Sfulmini and the Torre di Brenta. Continuing further southwards, after passing the spur at the base of the Brenta Alta, we cross the head of the Valle del Massodi and the Pedrotti Mountain-Hut (2491m) are not far away (4).

The Livio Brentari Path (3.5 hour) connectes the Pedrotti Hut with the S. Agostini Hut. It initially follows the normal route up to the Cima Tosa, in the wide valley on the South-East side (5). The ascent of the Brenta's highest peak offers great rewards. The Via Brentari avoids this route by turing to the left and ascending to the Sella della Tosa, 2860m (6), a broad rocky shoulder on the crest running South-East from the main peak. The panorama from here is breathtaking: soaring high over the morainic valley we have just traversed is the crest which descends from the Tosa to the Bocca di Brenta, with the Cima Margherita and the Brenta Bassa; between these two peaks, beyond the upper Val Brenta, the whole chain of the Sfulmini reveals itself, with the famous Campanile Basso clearly isolated at its center (7).

Walking over a small foot bridge (8), traversing some easy ledges, we rapidly reach the narrow saddle of the Bocca della Tosa, 2845m (9), which separate the southern buttress of the Tosa from the imposing Punta dell'Ideale. Then, with the help of metal ropes and ladders (10,11,13), we descend to the Vedretta d'Ambiez (12,14) at the foot of the Cima d'Ambiez. The ensuing descent to the edge of the glacier and over the moraine is not difficlut and soon leads to the Agostini Mountain-Hut (15).

The Silvio Agostini Mountain-Hut, 2410m, stands at the center of the huge morainic amphitheatre in the upper Valle d'Ambiez, surrounded by a magnificant circle of peaks, conspicuous among which is the great East face of the Cima d'Ambiez (15). Inaugurated in 1937 (recently re-constructed), the Hut is dedicated to the memory of the guide Silvio Agostini, who fell to his death from the Cima Brenta in the same year. Just to the rear of the Hut are two huge, roughly squared boulders which constituted the upper part of the Torre Jandi, a pinnacle of the rock which collapsed on 18 July 1957. Almost miraculously, the two boulders in question stopped in their fall just a few meters from the Hut.
