WHY THIS HIKE

Lake Trona in Val Gerola

A turquoise lake where you swim at altitude.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders and climb through pasture and silence to Lago di Trona, set high in the Val Gerola: a cool, little-visited gem where you can relax, walk and — in summer — take a swim. Just above stands Rifugio Trona Soliva, the right place to stop before heading back. A route of moderate difficulty, for anyone with a little fitness and a wish to take the mountains lightly.

5 reasons to come - Lago di Trona and its turquoise water - a swim at altitude, in summer - Rifugio Trona Soliva just above the lake - the pastures and silence of the Val Gerola - a gem that stays quiet even in season

Who it suits Moderate difficulty: some fitness is needed, but nothing technical.

Mountains with a light heart: come 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 6 h and 600 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
