モンノの湖・トップ16

After passing the Sandro Occhi refuge, Lake Aviolo shows itself in all its splendid beauty, with the majestic peaks of the Baitone group and its glaciers in the background. It is a truly magical and relaxing place. The trails near the lodge are flat and easy to walk, but as you get further away from the lodge, the trail becomes very rough, with rocky terrain. Running is definitely possible, but you have to be careful where you put your feet.

Of glacial origin, over the centuries Lake Benedetto has been filled by alluvial material transported by the Avio stream. Eng. Benedetto, to whom the name of the lake is owed, devised a system to recreate the ancient reservoir by emptying the filling materials with a hydraulic system through a tunnel that connects the lake bed to the valley floor. A dam was later built, immediately upstream of Lake Avio.

Beautiful lake easily reachable from vezza d'oglio (with a little training)

I recommend CANCANO in MTB, considering the dirt roads

Lake Avio is a water basin of natural origin. In 1929 a dam was built to create a reservoir to feed the Temù hydroelectric plant, which is no longer active today. In the early 1980s, the Edolo hydroelectric plant was built, fed directly by the waters of Lake Avio.

As soon as you look beyond the Sandro Occhi Refuge, Lake Aviolo appears in all its beauty. Behind it you can admire the peaks of the Baitone group and its glaciers. A truly magical and relaxing place.

The Franco Tonolini Refuge is located in the magnificent Conca del Baitone, in the Adamello Park, near Lake Rotondo. Surrounded by eight stupendous alpine lakes, it is in an ideal position for excellent excursions and ascents, such as the beautiful Cima Plem or the Corno del Baitone.

You have to clime a little bit but the views are stunning.
