WHY THIS HIKE
Mount Serottini and the Seroti lakes
High lakes in the Stelvio National Park.
Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends
The experience
We set off with the Guidders from Pianaccio, cross pastures, larches and peat bogs and begin climbing the Val Bighera. The path is wild just enough: you gain height on scree, rock steps and stony basins, but every step is worth it. The first gift is Lago Seroti Inferiore, set in a hanging bowl; then comes Lago Storto, higher up and ringed by silence. Above it all stands the summit of Monte Serottini.
5 reasons to come - the Seroti lakes, one after another - Lago Storto, suspended high up - the summit of Monte Serottini - the Val Bighera, wild in just the right measure - the Stelvio National Park at its quietest
Who it suits A high-altitude outing with scree and rock steps: good fitness and a sure step are needed.
Silence and high ground: come and take them with the Guidders.

Departure
We'll start from Pianaccio, a plateau near Vezza d'Oglio, where parking is available. The road is narrow but well-paved and there are no vehicle restrictions.
11:00VIEWPOINT
Seroti Lakes
One of the most captivating parts of the trail: glacial cirques, crystal-clear waters, and towering cliffs in the background. Perfect for a break and a thousand photo opportunities!
11:30LAKE
Storto Lake
"Don't forget your camera – you'll want to capture this view!"
13:00SUMMIT
Mount Serottini Summit
One last push, and it's totally worth it: the views are spectacular, and you'll feel a million miles away from everything. This is where you truly understand the meaning of "wild." To reach the summit, you'll ascend easy rocky steps scattered with scree, eventually emerging onto the ridge. From here, you can admire the Valtellina valley stretching out far below, beneath an impressively sheer rock face. Follow the ridge towards the summit of Monte Serottini, which is already visible and easily recognizable. The ridge is generally quite easy-going, with only a couple of sections where it narrows and becomes more exposed, requiring you to navigate some slightly delicate rocks, but without any significant safety concerns.
17:00PARKING
Back to the trailhead.
We'll complete the loop and head back to the vehicles.
