Val Viola
Val Viola Bormina
A high-mountain hiking valley in Valdidentro, west of Bormio, with stone herding huts and the blue Lake Viola and nearby Green Lake, both popular photo spots.
Val Viola lies in Valdidentro, west of Bormio. Start from a car park near the village of Alpedos, then follow a gentle herding track past an old village of stone huts and the Viola refuge to Lake Viola at about 2,300 meters. Nearby is Lago Verde, the Green Lake, whose water is a rare blue-green on sunny days. The round trip takes about 4 to 5 hours, the difficulty is moderate, and it suits families. It is about a 30-minute drive from Bormio.
