  Hi,
  thanks for sharing this route.
  
  I wanna do the same route, in June, and I'm worried about the 303 route to be a ferrata.
  
  Is this route not a ferrata? all information i collect about the 303 says that it is a ferrata.

  Hi c_a. In 2015 route 303 was a trail with I think 2 very short sectors equipped for security. Tobacco editorial has a very good map: https://www.tabaccoeditrice.it/cartografie/25000/053-dolomiti-di-brenta/
  
  If you don't mind to share your plan I'd try to be of help

  Hi,
  So my plan is the flow :)
  
  Day 1: Molveno -> Refugio Petrotti (route 319)
  
  Day 2: Refugio Petrotti -> Rifugio Ai Brentei -> Rifugio Alimonta (Lunch) -> Rifugio Ai Brentei -> Rifugio Tuckett
  (routes 318 328 317)
  
  Day 3: Rifugio Tuckett -> Refugio Petrotti (route 303) (lunch) -> Molveno (route 319)
  or
  day 3: Rifugio Tuckett -> Croz del altissimo (route 303) -> Molveno (route 319)
  
  This is the draft version :)

  Hi C_a
  
  First of all, take into account that I’ve been in Brenta only once, ant it was in 2015. Things may have changed.
  
  Notice that you’re missing Bochette Centralli / Bochette Alti (305), which are the jewells of the crown. I never did any via ferrata before year 2015, that year I practiced a couple in my living area before going to Brenta and I didn’t find much trouble going through them. I strongly suggest practicing a bit before going to Brenta and try them, they are a once in a lifetime experience.
  
  Day one is ok. Try to get to Molveno early, parking places are limited and tend to fill (and they are all paid).
  
  Day 2: if you want to go from Pedrotti to Tuckett without any via ferrata you can go through 303 (the route I did) or 305-318-328. At Brentei you can take 323 and go to Alimonta to have lunch, but then you’ll have to go back 323 to return to Brentei and then head to Tuckett. It can be done, but you’ll be doing the approach trails and missing the sightseeing trails. If you allow me to say it, does not seem to make much sense. To sum up: 305 (Bochettes) is the best choice, 303 second choice, 305-318-328 longer and not so nice views.
  
  Day 3 could be a bit too long, but you can always shortcut it by taking 322 once in Bocca dei Tuckett if needed.
  
  The good news is that you don’t have to make your decision now. You can make your bookings and once you’re there make your choice chatting with other people around.
  
  Finally, from Rif. Tuckett to Bocca dei Tuckett without crampons can be a tough climb (in August 2015 there was a layer of icy and slippery snow up to half knee, people got really tired), and you will always regret to have gone to Brenta without doing the Bochettes. They are not difficult and if you have any trouble there’s plenty of people willing to give a hand.
  
  Best
