Hiking
Coca Lake is a small glacial basin nestled in the upper part of the Coca Valley, a secluded and peaceful spot that naturally complements the hike to the Mario Merelli al Coca Refuge. The refuge is located at 1,891 meters, and from there, in about half an hour, you can reach the Orobic Giants Basin, dominated by Coca, Redorta, Scais, and Porola, as shown on the page you are viewing.
