WHY THIS HIKE

Lake Sorapis and Rifugio Vandelli

Tra i luoghi davvero magici delle Dolomiti troviamo sicuramente le acque cristalline e turchesi del lago del Sorapis situato ai piedi del Dito di Dio, cima inconfondibile del Sorapis. Le acque con dei colori unici al mondo, si sono formate dalle polveri della roccia calcarea situata sul fondo del lago arrivate dal di-sciogliersi del ghiacciaio del Sorapis. Il sentiero è impegnativo ma la meta ripagherà pienamente la fatica della salita

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Jacopo, an environmental hiking guide since 2014. I'm from Bassano del Grappa and I work mainly in the mountains: from the Venetian Prealps, quieter and wilder, to the wonderful scenery of the Dolomites. On my outings I love telling the story of places and of the people who lived them before us, bringing back the curious local legends and going looking for the particular animals and plants of the area. I love reading, and it's not unusual for me, mid-hike — deep in the forest or on an isolated rise — to open a book and read a passage aloud: with words our legs get lighter and our thoughts step away from the here and now to hold a moment of something timeless. I can't wait to take you on the next adventure. 📖 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
