    The little lake of Avert (2310m) is a splendid jewel that opens on the right bank orog. (West) of the valley (1400 meters in altitude, starting from Valbondione).

        Lake Avert is located at 2,310 meters above sea level above Valbondione, nestled in a wild and scenic setting along the Sentiero delle Orobie. It is a fascinating hiking destination, accessible via a challenging yet spectacular route.

        Here's a detailed summary to help you plan your visit:

        📍 Location and characteristics
        Elevation: 2,310 m above sea level


        Area: Valle della Foga, western slope of Valbondione.

        Type: Alpine lake of glacial origin, small but picturesque, surrounded by pastures and reddish rocks.

        🥾 Recommended itinerary
        Starting point: Valbondione, near the bus parking lots.


        Trails: CAI 331 to the ENEL well (1,800 m), then CAI 334 to the lake.

        Elevation gain: approximately 1,400 m.

        Duration: 3–5 hours uphill, depending on pace and conditions.

        Difficulty: Hiking (E), but requires good fitness due to the steepness and length.

        🌄 Possible continuations
        Ol Simàl (2,712 m): highest point of the Orobie Trail, reachable beyond the lake via trails through pastures and scree.


        Cima d’Avert (2,616 m): more challenging hike, with unmarked sections and an unmarked southern ridge.

        🏞️ Environmental context
        The lake opens onto a panoramic plain, with views of Redorta and Lizzola.


        The environment is wild and uncrowded, ideal for those seeking tranquility and immersion in nature.

        The ENEL well along the trail is a historic stone tower, a testament to local hydraulic engineering.

        🔄 Circular route
        Some hikers opt for a circular route, but the descent can be tiring if you're tired. Alternatively, you can return the same way.
