Cima Cavallazza and the Colbricon lakes

DESCRIPTION
Ring excursion to Cima Cavallazza and the Colbricon lakes starting from Passo Rolle.
We are located within the Lagorai chain. The itinerary we propose is very scenic: from the peaks and ridges you can admire a beautiful view of the Pale di San Martino and in particular of the Cimon della Pala, nicknamed the Matterhorn of the Dolomites. The remains of the fortifications of the Great War that we find on Monte Cavallazza are also interesting. The two lakes of Colbricon then, are two lake jewels of our mountains. The route has some sections equipped with a metal cord.
