スプリアーナの天然記念物・トップ16

Perfect for a mid-November visit, as I did today. The lake is frozen and magnificent to see. It's a short drive from San Giuseppe—it took me an hour and a quarter—but there's ice in some spots, and it's quite cold, being on the dark side. But it's worth it.

last stretch challenging but worth it

A charming alpine lake with turquoise waters, nestled in a valley surrounded by hills, with a beautiful view all around. It can be reached from San Giuseppe (1h30min from signs) and from other itineraries in Valmalenco. The path from San Giuseppe has some steep and wet sections, especially during the thaw: comfortable footwear suitable for the terrain is recommended.

The route from San Giuseppe takes about 1 hour, the path is not difficult but rather steep and wet given its exposure.

Autumn colors

Beautiful alpine lake! Its peculiar characteristic is the blue of its water!

From Triangia to Rolla-Forcola you climb with medium-high physical effort on increasingly rough asphalt until it becomes very rough concrete alternating with fairly compact forest ground with grooved concrete on the hairpin bends and then becomes exclusively rougher forest (not recommended for gravel). bike, if not very daring) up to the panoramic point marked in komoot-map. From then on the journey up to Colina is much less demanding even if there are some sections with gradients of 6-8-10% on the ups and downs. Just before the settlement of Colina, going down, you can deviate towards the suggestive lake which is located about 200 meters beyond the crossroads and possibly climb further up 4/500 meters of fairly uneven forest road on the open coast (up to an altitude of 2,200) or descend on a reasonably compact forest road up to the Galibio hut and then on more or less rough asphalt up to Postalesio.

In winter, crampons, ice ax and rope safety are required
