It is one of my favourite&nbsp;areas in the Dolomites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nearest city is Bolzano, which is very well connected to other cities in Italy. Below are some approximate travel times by train or car from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Venice \u2013 3 hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Verona \u2013 1.5 hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Milan \u2013 3 hours<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also travel to Bolzano by train from other European cities, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Innsbruck in Austria \u2013 2 hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Munich in Germany &#8211; 4 hours<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_the_night_before_the_Rosengarten_Traverse\"><\/span><strong>Where to stay the night before the Rosengarten Traverse?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Rosengarten-Traverse-Rifugio-Vajolet-5-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20376\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Rosengarten-Traverse-Rifugio-Vajolet-5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Rosengarten-Traverse-Rifugio-Vajolet-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Rosengarten-Traverse-Rifugio-Vajolet-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Rosengarten-Traverse-Rifugio-Vajolet-5.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 1: Bolzano<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Bolzano is an excellent place to stay if you need to store some of your luggage.

That\u2019s when the peaks&#8217; south and north faces are finally clear of snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you won\u2019t be doing any via ferratas, go from early June until mid-October. That\u2019s when (most of) the huts are open to hikers, and you can book your accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think September is best for this traverse. The thunderstorms, which are very common during the summer, subside, and there are plenty of bluebird days. The heat is also not as relentless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did this traverse in the first week of October, and as you can see in some of the pictures, we already had some snow.

He had an expansive rose garden that stretched out almost 17,000 acres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, it was the king&#8217;s rose garden that caused his demise. After kidnapping another king&#8217;s daughter (as one does), he put on his invisibility belt (as one does) and ran away through his rose garden. The soldiers, hot on his tail, managed to track him by the footprints he left on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When caught and banished from the realm, he cursed the rose garden, making it disappear day and night. Luckily for us, this curse does not apply to the transition periods of sunrise and sunset, and when the sky lights up, red, orange, and pink, it\u2019s the roses trying to come back down to where they once nestled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a long time, the mythical king&#8217;s rose garden became known in German as the Rosengarten, even though the roses no longer grow there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-12503920199\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interactive_map_of_the_Rosengarten_Traverse\"><\/span>Interactive map of the Rosengarten Traverse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1h77bwNVN-OoUTm_O6fhh-OytDrfC-vv1&#038;ehbc=2E312F\" width=\"960\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>This map will help you visualize my plan and follow along with the daily descriptions below.

Luckily, you will have immediate access right at the hut&#8217;s doorstep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today&#8217;s via ferrata is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/via-ferrata-catinaccio\/\">Catinaccio D\u2019Antermoia<\/a>.&nbsp;Since it&#8217;s a loop, carrying all your equipment with you is unnecessary.&nbsp;If you ask nicely, you&nbsp;should be allowed to leave&nbsp;some of your stuff at the Principe hut for a few hours and then do a proper check-in once you get back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did this climb&nbsp;a couple of&nbsp;times to get the right photography conditions,&nbsp;even missing my goulash and dumpling dinner! Thankfully, my friend saved it for me when I&nbsp;arrived back.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Via Ferrata d\u2019Antermoia is a beginner route that should take 3 \u2013 4 hours to complete.&nbsp;Its highest point is the summit of Monte Catinaccio, the tallest peak in the Rosengarten Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From here, everything in the immediate vicinity is below you. It\u2019s almost weird looking down on the Vajolet Towers after straining your neck and looking up at them from Rifugio Re Alberto. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-12503439299\">Night 3: Rifugio Passo Principe (Grassleitenpassh\u00fctte)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Rosengarten-Traverse-Passo-Principe-15-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20411\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Rosengarten-Traverse-Passo-Principe-15-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Rosengarten-Traverse-Passo-Principe-15-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Rosengarten-Traverse-Passo-Principe-15-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Rosengarten-Traverse-Passo-Principe-15.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the hut is small, it&#8217;s generally considered the toughest to get reservations at.

The whole route, which returns to the hut, takes around 3 \u2013 4 hours.&nbsp;Again, take only what&#8217;s necessary for the ferrata because you will return to the hut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-12503441899\">Night 4: Rifugio Alpe Di Tires (Tierseralph\u00fctte)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Rosengarten-Traverse-Rifugio-Alpi-Di-Tires-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20400\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Rosengarten-Traverse-Rifugio-Alpi-Di-Tires-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Rosengarten-Traverse-Rifugio-Alpi-Di-Tires-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Rosengarten-Traverse-Rifugio-Alpi-Di-Tires-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Rosengarten-Traverse-Rifugio-Alpi-Di-Tires.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since being renovated in 2016, this hut has become one of my favourites.

How should I pack?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be best if you went as light as possible. A 30-40 litre backpack is more than enough, even with ferrata gear and photography. Packing food or camping equipment is unnecessary as everything is provided in the huts. Here is my complete <a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/packing-list-hut-to-hut-treks-dolomites\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"616\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">packing list for hut-to-hut hikes in the Dolomites<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. What can I expect when staying at the huts?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The huts in the Alps are like high alpine hostels. They provide bedding, food, and, in some cases, entertainment to hikers. You can expect electricity, running water, and sometimes even the possibility of having a hot shower after a long day of hiking. Before staying in the Italian Dolomites mountain huts, <a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/mountain-huts-in-the-dolomites-info\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"641\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here is everything to know<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Where to rent via ferrata gear?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Plenty of places in the Fassa Valley which rent ski equipment during the winter season turn into summer rental places with bikes and via ferrata gear at your disposal. Search for places called nollegio (Italian for rental).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rent for the whole set costs around 30-35 euros\/day. If you are going for five days, consider buying your equipment. The entire set will set you back by around 250 Euros, but it will last a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">In&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/beginners-guide-to-via-ferrata-climbing-in-the-italian-dolomites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">my beginner&#8217;s guide to via ferrata climbing in the Italian Dolomites<\/a><\/span>, I linked to all the gear I use personally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Is it possible to do this route in reverse?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This route is better south to north because some parts involve scrambling along via ferratas, which sometimes go in only one direction, like the via ferrata Passo Santner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you go from north to south, you must omit Via Ferrata Passo Santner and instead hike to Rifugio Roda Di Va\u00e9l from Rifugio Vajolet over Passo Da Le Zigolade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Is there a place to store my luggage for the trip?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to one of my readers who left excellent feedback after completing this traverse, I know that storing your luggage at a train station in Bolzano for a few days is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are staying in the Fassa Valley before the trek, contact your hotel before your trip and ask if you can leave your excess luggage with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Is there a way to omit via ferratas on this traverse?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst I think via ferratas make this traverse so exciting, I can understand that it is not everyone&#8217;s cup of tea. In that case, you can traverse the heart of Rosengarten whilst staying on the ground the whole time.

Osprey has plenty of options in this storage volume range to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shop on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Y6tEq8\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Y6tEq8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Osprey Amazon Store<\/a><\/strong> (Worldwide) \/ <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/backcountry.tnu8.net\/B0Pa94\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/backcountry.tnu8.net\/B0Pa94\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Backcountry<\/a><\/strong> (US)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bfgcdn.com\/1500_1500_90\/515-0001-0211\/cocoon-mummyliner-silk-economy-line-travel-sleeping-bag.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:362px;height:auto\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sleeping Bag Liner<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Sleeping bag liners are required for hut stays.
