WHY THIS HIKE

The Torena lakes in Val Belviso

Two lakes side by side, and utterly different.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders into the heart of the Val Belviso, at the foot of Monte Torena, and climb gradually through pastures, summer farms and high paths, in wide, bright country. On arrival the landscape changes face: Lago Nero and Lago Verde, close together yet utterly different in colour and character, appear set into a silent glacial basin. Here the mountains genuinely surprise you, between reflections and silence.

5 reasons to come - Lago Nero and Lago Verde, a few steps apart - the glacial basin at the foot of Monte Torena - a gradual climb, never brutal - the pastures and summer farms of the Val Belviso - wide, bright country, perfect for photographs

Who it suits A gradual climb on high paths: normal mountain walking fitness is enough.

Two lakes in one go: come and see them with the Guidders.

WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE YOU GO
✓
BEFORE YOU GO
Go to bed early, have a good breakfast and drink before you set off: you've got 5 h and 700 m of ascent ahead, if you go to the mountains a couple of times a month, you're fit enough
✓
IN YOUR BACKPACK
Warm layers, a windproof jacket, 1.5 litres of water and a headlamp: the days are getting shorter, plus poles. Always with you: a plaster, an antiseptic wipe and a small bag for rubbish
