WHY THIS HIKE

Lake Aviolo and its sky-blue waters

A sky-blue lake at the head of the Val Paghera.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Rifugio alla Cascata and the path first enters the woods, then turns rocky. At Rifugio Sandro Occhi all'Aviolo the effort is repaid by the sight of Lago d'Aviolo, with its sky-blue water. Carrying on we come to the geological and wildlife observatory, and nearby we stretch out on a wide grassy flat crossed by a stream of crystal water.

5 reasons to come - Lago d'Aviolo and its sky-blue water - Rifugio Sandro Occhi on the shore - the geological and wildlife observatory - the grassy flat with its stream, made for a break - the Val Paghera, among the finest in the Brescia mountains

Who it suits A climb on path with one rocky section: normal walking fitness is enough.

A lake that looks painted: come and see it with the Guidders.
