Lago di Sorapis
Lago di Sorapiss
A milky turquoise glacial lake hidden beneath the Sorapis peaks, about 2 hours on foot. Its colour is breathtaking.
Lago di Sorapis lies at 1,925 m in a glacial cirque surrounded by the Sorapis peaks. Glacial flour gives the water its distinctive milky blue-green colour, and the sharp rock spire known as the 'Witch's Finger' rises behind it. The one-way trail from Passo Tre Croci (Passo Tre Croci) follows path 215 for about 6 km and takes 1.5 to 2 hours. Some sections run along cliff edges with cables and iron rungs, so those who are afraid of heights should take care. Parking is limited in peak season, so aim to arrive before 8 a.m. Rifugio Vandelli is located by the lake. Swimming and drone flying are prohibited.
