Around lake Serraia and lake Piazze

The route

This walk around the lakes of the Altopiano di Piné is a relaxing one with a very moderate difference in height. As a shorter alternative, you can choose to make a circuit of just one of the two lakes.

Please note that the practicability of the itineraries in a mountain environment is strictly linked to the contingent conditions and is therefore influenced by natural phenomena, environmental changes and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this page may have changed. Before leaving for a tour, make sure the path you will approach is still accessible by contacting the owner of the mountain hut, the alpine guides or the visitor centres of the nature parks, the info offices of the local tourist board.

Equipment

Even on relatively short easy outings make sure to take all you need so you don't run into trouble if things take an unexpected turn, for example a storm blows up or you have a sudden drop in energy levels.

What you should have in your rucksack:

water canteen (1L)
snacks (e.g. mixed dried fruit or chocolate)
First aid kit
windproof jacket
fleece
change of t-shirt and socks (in a plastic bag)
make sure to wear or at least bring a pair of long trousers
hat
sun screen
sunglasses
gloves
whistle to attract attention in an emergency
emergency telephone number Mountain Rescue 112

Make sure you're wearing the right footwear for the trail and season. The going can get rough and rocky underfoot and a pair of hiking boots will protect you from sprains.

And finally... don't forget to bring your camera! You'll need it to capture the stunning views.

Turn-by-turn directions

We suggest you start from the southern tip of Lake Serraia just outside Baselga: follow the walking and cycling path along the western shore of the lake, carry on through the 'Paludi di Sternigo' nature reserve and eventually along the eastern shore of Lake Piazze up to a place called 'Fabbrica' (Hotel Pineta). From there, head back to Baselga by following the footpath along the northern shore of Lake Piazze. When you reach the 'Albergo Due Laghi', bear left onto a small road which takes you back to the walking and cycling path you followed on your way out. When you reach a riding school ('Dallapiccola') located shortly before a place called 'Paludi', bear left again and follow the walking and cycling path along the eastern shore of Lake Serraia to get back to the starting place.
