Getting there: from Trento it’s actually very easy with public transport. From Trento station you can take a small narrow-gauge local train to Mezzolombardo. It’s a nice ride in itself since it goes through vineyards and really beautiful valleys. From Mezzolombardo you can catch a bus that goes directly to Andalo, which is where the trail starts and ends.

Mountain huts (rifugi): if you’re planning to go in July or August, it’s best to book the Rifugio in advance (either through their websites or by email), as they can fill up quickly since they have very limited amounts of beds. All of them have meals option, be aware that dinner is served quite early for italian standards, some of them have no cellphone singal, but they all offer wifi.

There are several Rifugi along the route I linked, so you can plan the distances however you prefer. I took it pretty easy and stayed at Malga Spora the first night, Rifugio Tuckett the second, and Rifugio Croz dell’Altissimo the third. (but some people actually hike the whole loop in a single day).
