WHY THIS HIKE
The lakes of Val De La Mare
Are you dreaming of a relaxing weekend on the sofa or an adventure in the mountains? Come and discover the wonderful lakes nestled in the breathtaking scenery of the Ortles-Cevedale group! Marco and Matteo will guide you on a fascinating journey in Val di Peio, specifically in Val de la Mare. We'll meet in Cogolo and then drive to Pontevecchio, where our hike begins! We will pass through Malga Mare, ascend to Pian Venezia, and finally reach the Rifugio Larcher. At this point, the climb is almost over, and we can admire and touch Lago delle Marmotte, Lago Lungo, Lago Nero, and the beautiful artificial lake of Careser.

The experience
Are you afraid of being in a group that's too slow... or too fast?
Do you want to walk with your friend/girlfriend but you have different paces?
No problem, you will have 2 AMM mountain guides from the Alpine Guides College of Trentino available!
We all start together, split up if needed, and meet again at the arrival point.
The basic route is about 14 km with 720 meters of elevation gain (5-lake tour without taking the lifts), but having the possibility of forming two small groups, it can be lengthened (7-lake tour) or tackled with different timings.

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.
Intermediate — this outing
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

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Matteo, an AMM guide with the Collegio Guide Alpine of Trentino. I believe in sharing, in listening and in genuine experiences: the ones that leave real memories and make you feel part of the mountain, not a passing visitor. I live and work in the mountains, the place of my roots and my identity, where my heart beats harder. I've followed this road since I was a child, and at some point I turned the passion into a profession. Let's walk together: adventure is always better shared. 🎒 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
We only ask for feedback from people who were really there.
