ニアルドの湖・トップ8

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.

A magnificent excursion to do in autumn when everything takes on a unique colour.

I recommend stopping at the Tita Secchi refuge, Alessandra and Piero and their staff were fantastic, delicious lunch and a family and relaxing atmosphere!!

Friendly staff and great food!

A scenic spot where you can take a break after the strenuous climb.

Beautiful excursion, you go up on a dirt road (possible cuts on unmarked but perfectly visible paths) up to Passo Bruffione with a bivouac of the same name. From Passo Bruffione you go back along the dirt road you came from for a few meters up to the signpost for Passo Brealone and Laghetti di Bruffione. You go back up the marked dirt road almost to Passo Brealone, where on the left you can see the sign (eroded by the elements) for Laghetti di Bruffione, you follow the signs going down to the right on a steep path marked in sections by white/red signs and stone men. Once you reach the lakes, continue on a single path that goes down towards Gaver. We did the tour at a leisurely pace and made several stops for photos and to admire the view. Stunning panorama along the entire route. From Passo Bruffione you can see the mountains of the Valle del Chiese. Along the way we naturally see Mount Bruffione, Cornone del Blumone and many other peaks including Carè Alto.

Natural alpine lake, on which a small dam was built in the last century, which significantly increased its size.

The Bruffione lakes are a group of lakes located in the plain of the same name, renowned for its natural beauty. The Bruffione lakes are surrounded by majestic mountains and are an ideal place for hiking, fishing or simply enjoying the tranquility of nature.
