アルベルタッシェの湖・トップ16

very pretty here, very pretty

The Lac de Creno is at 1322m.

We did the climb from the Restonica valley in early July. Heavy rainfall in May caused exceptionally large snowfields below the couloir. Orientation and finding a way was therefore more difficult than under normal circumstances. In particular, the descent on what is actually the same path required a good sense of direction, very confusing, also due to randomly placed cairns that ended in dead ends below the couloir (sometimes on the mighty, too steep granite slabs, which abruptly bordered snowfields and forced to turn back... with then new attempts). In total we have 15km, 3200m difference in altitude (ascent, descent), 6.5 hours in motion and 11.5 hours total time (2 x 45min breaks, remaining time for photos, path search) needed. Tip: be sure to inquire about the snow situation beforehand. possibly Bring a toddle, a snow plate for sticks and a rope. Luckily the snow was very soft, so we didn't need all that. Sticks are mandatory!

Beautiful lake surrounded by pastures and meadows, which can also be circumnavigated on a hike

The arrival on the lake is breathtaking

The Nino Lake with the adjacent Pozzine are a beautiful piece of nature. The Tavignano rises from Lake Nino.

The lake is beautiful. It is of glacial origin. Pay attention to the pozzines (plant formations) as they are protected and swimming in the lake is prohibited. However, the deep greens, azure blues, roaming cattle and horses make this a magical place to visit.

Creno Lake teems with wildlife and is grazed by cattle. You can ride there with a pony or a horse, rented from the car park below. The lake is famous for its water lilies and when you couple that with the picturesque pine trees that surround it, this lake is truly a treasure to be found.
