WHY THIS HIKE

Cima Lastroni and the Olbe Lakes

Two high-altitude lakes and a peak at 2446 meters. All in one day.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Val Sesis and quickly leave the woods behind us, climbing along the Portatrici trail, the historic CAI 138 that commemorates the work of women on the Carnic front during the Great War. The route is there-and-back and climbs gently through mountain pine and pastures up to the Olbe Lakes, two turquoise pools set beneath the rocks. From there the climb becomes steeper: the last few meters below the summit of Cima Lastroni require a bit of agility on small rocks, nothing technical, just hands and feet. At the top, the view opens up over all the Sappada Dolomites.

5 reasons to come - the Olbe Lakes, a balcony of water at 2000 meters - Cima Lastroni, one of the most beautiful peaks of Sappada - the Portatrici trail and its wartime history - the final rocky stretch, a touch of real adventure - 360° views over the Friulian Dolomites

Who it's suitable for For those with good legs and a desire to walk uphill for a few hours. No technical experience is needed except for the last stretch of trail to reach the summit, which is a bit narrow and exposed.

Come with the Guidders: we set off together, we celebrate at the top.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Alessandro, I'm 35 and I live in the heart of the Dolomites, in Cadore. I'm a mid-mountain leader with the Collegio Guide Alpine del Veneto and a UIMLA member, with a degree in Sport Science, an MTB guide and — yes — a sommelier too: after a hike, a good glass is never out of place. 🍷 I live the mountains in every form they come in: trekking, trail running, mountain bike adventures. Moving in nature is pure energy for me, discovery, feeling, and sharing it is the part of the job I never tire of. Panoramic ridge or woodland singletrack, the goal is the same: a real, active day that puts you back together. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
