マレーニョの湖・トップ5

Lake Lova is a picturesque hiking destination located above Borno, on the Altopiano del Sole plateau in Val Camonica. It is appreciated for its alpine landscape, tranquility, and the variety of surrounding trails. The lake is located at approximately 1,392 meters above sea level and can be reached via several hiking trails, including the Sentiero della Memoria (Path of Remembrance) that starts from the church of San Fiorino in Borno. After a short paved stretch to the Trattoria Navertino, you take a dirt path that winds through larch and fir trees, with steep sections and slippery cobblestones. The hike is immersed in a natural environment typical of the Lombard Prealps, with natural fountains and good cell phone coverage. A longer alternative is the Monte Mignone – Lake Lova circular hike, approximately 11.1 km long with an elevation gain of 837 meters, to be done counterclockwise. This route offers spectacular views and passes through pastures and woods, with the lake as its focal point. Lake Lova is also a hub for other trails: from here, you can continue towards the San Fermo Refuge or the Laeng Refuge, following CAI trails 106 and 182. Parking is available near the lake, making it accessible even for less experienced hikers. Scenically, the lake is nestled in a green valley surrounded by woods and pastures, with calm waters reflecting the sky and surrounding mountains. It's an ideal destination in all seasons, but particularly captivating in autumn due to the colorful foliage.

The Laghetti delle Valli (Valley Lakes) are an enchanting corner of the Bergamo Orobie mountains, located above Schilpario in the Scalve Valley. These small alpine lakes, hidden among pastures and rocks, offer a setting of rare beauty and tranquility, perfect for hikers seeking silence and authentic landscapes. The hike begins in Santa Elisabetta, just outside the center of Schilpario, where you join CAI trail 415. The route initially winds through the forest, among fir and larch trees, gaining altitude with regular switchbacks. After passing the Roccolo di Busmino and the Monte Busma mountain pasture, it turns west towards Monte Gaffione. Here, in a basin between the peaks, the valley opens up that hosts the Laghetti delle Valli, at approximately 1,979 meters above sea level. The landscape is alpine and wild: the small lakes, of glacial origin, are surrounded by flowering pastures, rhododendrons, and rocks smoothed by time. The clear waters reflect the sky and mountains, creating a suspended, almost magical atmosphere. Just above the largest lake, there is a curious "sword in the stone," installed as a symbolic attraction, adding a fairytale touch to the hike. The trail then continues towards the Vivione Pass, making it ideal for a full-day trek. The difficulty is classified as hiking (E), with an elevation gain of approximately 870 meters and a total length of approximately 15 km, round-trip. The Laghetti delle Valli are a perfect place for those who love the true mountains, the kind conquered step by step, offering simple yet profound emotions. A hike here is a journey into the quiet, beauty, and history of a valley that has managed to preserve its authentic spirit.

Since it's not possible to bring food from home to the refuge, the picnic area at Laghetto Vivione becomes the designated spot if you want to stop for a drink or to eat your own food. The wooden animal statues are lovely, perfect for taking souvenir photos.

Beautiful refuge immersed in nature. Impossible not to stop after the hard climb pedaled😉

Leckeres Essen. Auch für eine Übernachtung geeignet wenn das Gemeinschaftsbad nicht stört.

Spectacular road in unique environments.

Alpine lake of modest size rich in vegetation and arthropods, including dragonflies. Surrounding the lake is a picnic area equipped with tables, benches and benches; useful for resting, taking a break but also a family lunch since the area is located near the Vivione refuge which can be reached by car (check the period of closure of the access road) https://www.valdiscalve.it/eventi/apertura-strada-statale-passo-del-vivione/
