Tips
The three Porcile lakes are located between the Tartano pass and the Porcile pass, at the head of the Lunga valley, a branch of the Tartano valley.
They are arranged in a ring, on different levels, about two hundred meters away from each other, on the southern slopes of Mount Valegino and the western slopes of Cima Cadelle.translated by

Alpine lakes from which to admire the surrounding peaks and ridges. You are immersed in nature, far enough away from civilization. The vegetation in the water is very curious and creates interesting scenic effects.
The route to reach them is easy starting from San Simone (after passing the Tartano pass)translated by•September 7, 2022
Beautiful alpine lakes in the Valtellina area at about 2050m above sea level, on the Bergamo border: visible from the eastern Cima di Lemma, from Monte Cadelle and from Monte Valegino
