WHY THIS HIKE

Erdemolo: the heart-shaped lake

A heart-shaped lake, right in the middle of the Lagorai range, lit up by autumn colors.

Group chat a couple of days before

Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Frotten, in Valle dei Mòcheni, and climb through woods that, at the end of the season, offer the full palette of foliage colors. The trail gains altitude steadily, with ups and downs and steeper stretches that keep the climb lively, until it opens onto the basin where Lake Erdemolo appears. The route is a loop: it continues toward the Sette Selle Refuge before descending, with the golden afternoon light accompanying the entire way back.

The lake is famous for its rare heart shape and for the small snowfield that, in the colder seasons, seems to plunge straight into the water; while the Sette Selle refuge is the icing on the cake of an amphitheater made of porphyry and jagged peaks

5 reasons to come

- the wild and unspoiled environment of the Lagorai - the heart-shaped lake, one of a kind - the autumn foliage of the Lagorai in full golden light - the optional lunch at the Sette Selle Refuge - a genuine loop, scenic from start to finish

Who it's suitable for A steady step and good fitness are required: there are steep stretches uphill and downhill, but no technical passages.

Come discover the Erdemolo with the Guidders: book your spot and let's set off together.

Guiddy scale

INTERMEDIATE

F+

D+

880 m D+ · 11 km · 6h30

Easy

Perfect for those who want to enjoy nature without too much effort. Short, well-marked trails with gentle slopes. No technical difficulties, just a desire to walk, breathe in the fresh air, and share the day with a group.

Ideal for: Beginners, families, those who want to take their first steps in trekking.

Easy Plus

A little faster pace, but still accessible. Slightly longer routes or with a few more hills, requiring some walking experience. The terrain is always easy and safe.

Ideal for: Those who walk regularly and want to challenge themselves a little.

Here we enter the world of true trekking. Steeper climbs, stretches on uneven or longer trails that require stamina. The physical effort is medium to high, and the fatigue is noticeable... but so is the satisfaction!

Ideal for: Those who already have experience and a good level of physical fitness.

Intermediate Plus

When the mountains begin to take their toll. More challenging routes in terms of gradient or duration, with technical sections or uneven terrain. Even a medium elevation gain can be tough if concentrated in just a few kilometers

Ideal for: Trained hikers, accustomed to walking on mountain paths

Difficult

Level suitable for experienced hikers with excellent stamina and surefootedness. The physical challenge is high, and there may be steep sections or possible exposure, which is always noted in the hike description. Perfect for those who enjoy pushing their limits and conquering significant peaks.

Ideal for: Those who already have experience in an Alpine environment and want to challenge themselves.

Difficult Plus

Only for true Guidders with their Wild Spirit at its peak Long routes, significant elevation gain (over 1,100 m), and technical or exposed terrain. Excellent physical preparation, sure-footedness, and the ability to manage fatigue at high altitude are required.

Ideal for: Highly trained and experienced hikers in the mountains.

Exposure and exposed sections

NONE

The trail is never exposed. A few rocky stretches, no airy sections.

09:00WATER

In the woods toward Lake Erdemolo

We climb steadily through fir and larch trees just beginning to turn yellow, orange and red, with a few steep stretches that warm up our legs. The trail narrows through the forest, but the footing stays secure, and every bend reveals a fresh glimpse of the valley.

10:30WATER

Lake Erdemolo

We emerge from the forest and before us opens up Lake Erdemolo, its heart-shaped waters nestled between Pizzo Alto and Cima di Cave. A view that's worth every step of the climb so far.

12:30WATER

Panoramic ridge and lunch break

Leaving Lake Erdemolo and Forcella Cave behind us, we head north beneath the jagged ridge of the mountain group featuring Sasso Rosso, Sasso Rotto and Sette Selle, before descending through a boulder field to Rifugio Sette Selle, where we'll stop for lunch.

15:30WATER

Back to Frotten

We close the loop, descending back through the colours of the autumn forest to the starting car park. With the Guidders we enjoy a cold beer or a coke back at the cars, toasting to a truly great day.

Filippo T.

We'll email you when they have a new outing on the calendar.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Filippo, a Mountain Leader! Born and raised in a small village in Trentino, surrounded by mountains and woods, I developed a passion for sports and outdoor activities from an early age. As I grew up, though, the frenzy of competition gave way to the peace and silence of the mountains, where, step by step, I found myself. The idea of turning guiding into a profession came from shared experiences with friends and family, who always manage to show me the mountains from a different perspective, as if it were the first time all over again. This is how I try to live every mountain experience, with no intention of teaching anyone anything, but with the desire to share moments capable of creating memories and deep bonds. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
