It is not of glacial origin as one might think but is due to a sinking of the mountain over time. Sinking caused by erosion of snow, wind and rain. The lake does not have a spring but is fed by snow, rain and summer frost.
Around the lake is the Duca degli Abruzzi Refuge which houses shelter and food.
