WHY THIS HIKE

Lake Vacca and Tita Secchi hut

We're in a stunning valley dotted with small lakes. Lake Vacca, with its partially frozen surface shimmering in the sun, is a breathtaking sight you won't stop photographing. Embark on an adventurous trek at the foot of the Cornone di Blumone, starting from the Bazena parking area, famous as the starting point of the Adamello High Route No. 1. The route begins along a wide mule track leading to the Valfredda Pass (approx. 2 hours). From there, we cross over and follow a relatively flat path to the famous Vacca rock formation at the Vacca Pass (approx. 1 hour). Just a few hundred meters further on, we reach the lake's dam and the Tita Secchi mountain hut. This is an easy hike that doesn't require extensive preparation.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Elisa, an environmental hiking guide: one family, three hearts and a lot of appetite for walking. I (re)discovered my passion for the mountains in 2018 and we haven't stopped since: every week I set off on an adventure with my husband and our inseparable four-legged companion. We love everything about nature: from simple strolls through the woods to multi-day treks with a tent on our backs and a starry sky overhead. The urge to find new trails, breathe good air and share the feeling never runs out. If you dream of genuine outings too, to be lived with the people you love and at the right pace, we'll be waiting on the trail with a smile (and some tail-wagging). 🐶 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
