Lake della Vacca is a body of water located in the Caffaro valley within the Adamello Natural Park. It owes its name to the cattle-shaped rock found at the pass of the same name. In 1927 the lake was dammed to power the Gaver hydroelectric power station and produce energy.

I recommend stopping at the Tita Secchi refuge, Alessandra and Piero and their staff were fantastic, delicious lunch and a family and relaxing atmosphere!!

Natural alpine lake, on which a small dam was built in the last century, which significantly increased its size.
