To the Wild Maria and Franco Lomini Hut at Dernal Pass
Guiddy Difficulty Levels
Difficult
Description
The Maria e Franco is a true alpine refuge: remote, isolated, nestled among the Adamello valleys! Although reachable by several itineraries, they are all very long and require a certain level of commitment. We chose to start from Tres in Val Paghera. We will stay on the Camonica side for the ascent into the Dois valley, continuing along a tiring path and scree slope until we reach the Dernal Pass, where our Refuge stands, accompanied only by its main peak: the Re di Castello. Few people reach the Maria e Franco refuge: mainly hikers who follow the Alta Via dell'Adamello, and those who want to savor the experience of one of the wildest and most remote valleys of the Adamello. A long and rewarding journey, precious in its being less known and traveled.

Guide
RoadTo4000
Road to 4000 is Guiddy's program designed for those who want to enter the world of mountaineering with awareness, progress, and camaraderie. It's a structured program of carefully selected itineraries from our team, designed as technical and physical training in preparation for climbing to the Margherita Hut. Our goal is to build skills, confidence, and team spirit. This isn't just about altitude acclimatization; it's a genuine journey of growth. From the first summits to the most challenging climbs, we'll tackle diverse mountain environments, learning to read, interpret, and respect them. Each outing is designed to develop endurance, elevation gain management, altitude adaptation, and confidence in the alpine environment. Road to 4000 is also about sharing and synergy: a group of Guidders united by the same dream, getting to know each other step by step, exchanging technical information, experiences, and authentic moments lived together in the mountains. You won't be climbing with strangers, but with a team that grows, supports each other, and arrives ready for the challenge of the 4000-meter peaks. It's a journey made of preparation, friendship, and concrete goals. The summit is the objective. The journey, the people, and the emotions… that's the real adventure. 🧡
