Madonna di Campiglio and Campo Carlo
Magno are the ideal starting point for numerous walks in the Brenta Group and
Adamello-Presanella Massif. If an exciting
excursion in the Dolomites consists in a visit to the Vallesinella waterfalls
and a climb to the nearby peaks of the Dolomites, then, in the Adamello -
Presanella massif the “must do and must see “ thing here is the 5 lake tour
.
The starting point for this hike is Malga
Nambino which is accessible by car, ( taking a forest road which starts from
the main road linking Madonna di Campiglio to Campo Carlo Magno). The hike goes
in a counterclockwise direction. First on trail 217 to Nambino Lake
(m.1768, not far from the parking lot), then trail 217 or 266 to Lake Serodoli and Lake Gelato
m.2376 (the two trails are more or less the same). From here onto trail 232
that first leads to Lake Lambin, m.2329, and then south along the slopes
of Mount Nambrone to Lake Ritorto, m.2053. The same trail leads down to
Madonna di Campiglio to the intersection of the forest road and bike path near Patascoss. Here, turn left,
northwest, and continue to Capanna Nambino and then turn left again to the parking lot .. The route is quite long,
5-6 hours ,with a difference in altitude of about 650 meters. If you want to
shorten the hike take trail 269 ( near Lake Lambin) directly to Lake Nambino (
missing out on Lake Ritorto). The scenarios that characterize this hike are
absolutely outstanding : the Brenta stands high on the horizon and all the
lakes are inserted in beautiful natural settings which vary according to the
altitude.
For those who want
to avoid strenuous climbs, it should be noted that in the tourist season the 5
laghi mountain lifts bring you
comfortably to Lake Ritorto.
If you should
decide to do this hike in a clockwise direction: take the 5 laghi lift to the
top and proceed the above hike backwards ( from 4 to 4 ½ hrs).
