The route was in two separate parts, the first of which was a 5-day section which looped its way through the Sciliar and Catinaccio groups, followed by a day excursion along the flanks of the Sassolungo group on the north side of Val di Fassa. After a bus transfer from Canazei to Andalo, the second section was a 3-day circular loop through the Brenta group, climbing through the Bocca di Brenta and returning to Andalo via Passo Grostè. With few Dolomite summits accessible to walkers, the only ones climbed were the minor peak of Monte Pez (2563) above the Bolzano hut, and the rock outcrop of Ciampaz (2316 m) near the Roda di Vael hut. The highest point reached was Passo d’Antermoia (2770).
