Reflections and scents of larch at Lake San Pellegrino

Take your time. The perimeter of the trail around the lake is just over 1,000 metres, but in its waters, you can read the entire geography of the valley, while on its shores, you can breathe it in.

At 1,900 metres, on the eastern edge of Trentino, at the pass named after the Friars of San Pellegrino - a historic passage for soldiers and a site of battles - this lake provides tranquillity and enhances the beauty of every season. Along its path, enriched with wooden sculptures, it crosses bridges and walkways. Above all, in its waters, depending on the light and shadows cast by the sun's movement, you can recognise in a blue and green mirror the ridges of Costabella and Col Margherita, Cima di Juribrutto, and even Cima d'Uomo. As you walk, you may notice your pace slowing down, giving you time to look around and, above all, to breathe in the scent of larch, stone pine, and dwarf pine. Look for traces of forest animals and the colours of juniper branches, a fundamental ingredient of Ladin tradition. And once the loop is completed, you'll feel the urge to keep walking, at a gentle pace, through the Fuciade basin.
