🏔 Curiosities of the place

It is a glacial lake on the border between Italy and Austria, in front of the highest peak in Friuli (Monte Coglians 2,780m). The environment still shows signs of the Great War and also represents a geological site of international value, with layers of rock that are evidence of open sea environments and reef environments. Here, between 460 and 320 million years ago, the sea extended.

🎯 Practical advice

It can be a windy area as it goes up a wide gully, bring a shell with you, otherwise you can count on the two shelters around the lake for a warm place.
