The Alpine lakes trekking route (Trekking dei laghetti alpini) runs mainly along mountain paths (level of hiking difficulty: T3) with some section of Alpine tracks (T4). However, the trek should not be taken lightly, especially in terms of the length of some of the sections and the elevation, reaching altitudes of around 3,000 metres above asl in places.

The following are therefore required:

good physical condition detailed planning (current conditions, weather forecast etc.) surefootedness on uneven ground (scree etc.)

Not to be underestimated:

high elevation sudden weather changes presence of snow at the beginning of the season trekking time (particularly when hiking in large groups) often no mobile coverage lack of drinking water sources along some sections

Emergency telephone number: 112

Some huts open as early as June, when the connecting sections are usually still covered in snow.

Generally, the best season for trekking is between July and Septem­ber/October.

However, even in the height of summer, you are advised to contact the guardians to check the state of the route. Overnight stays must be booked in advan­ce in order to avoid unpleasant surprises and find oneself without accommodation.
