Valbona - The Path of the Valleys
<p>Panoramic ascent to the Valbona Lakes, offering spectacular views over Val Rendena, the Brenta Group, Carè Alto, and the Ledro Alps, all immersed in an environment rich in coniferous forests and rhododendrons.</p>
<p>The route starts from the locality Zeller, where the <strong>SAT trail 225</strong> passes through, to be followed up to <strong>Malga Cengledino</strong>, here it climbs the pastures above and leads to the <strong>Valbona Lakes</strong>. As you gain altitude, the panorama of Val Rendena and the Brenta Dolomites becomes wider and more stunning. Through gentle ups and downs, you reach the <strong>Piana di San Martino</strong>, a green basin covered with larches and rhododendrons, located at the foot of Monte Cengledino (or Camp Antìc). Continuing, you encounter a small but characteristic wooden hut, used as a shelter, called “<strong>Bait dei Caciador</strong>” or “<strong>Bait Fontana dele Laste</strong>”. Finally, the route continues along the hillside to the longed-for lakes, within the Adamello Brenta Natural Park-Geopark, where a rocky amphitheater frames the waters of an intense azure.</p>
