Serodoli Lake from Malga Nambino

DESCRIPTION
A winter hike offering beautiful views of the Brenta Group.

Geographical Location
Serodoli Lake, located at an altitude of 2370 meters, is one of the picturesque Five Lakes (Ritorto Lake, Lambìn Lake, Gelato Lake, Serodoli Lake, and Nero Lake) in the Presanella Group in Trentino. This alpine lake is set in a nearly lunar landscape, characterized by tonalite rocks typical of the Adamello and Presanella areas, and offers panoramic views of the majestic Brenta Dolomites.

The Hike
The hike to Serodoli Lake is a must for anyone starting from Madonna di Campiglio. The varied, moderately challenging route passes through forests and valleys, offering spectacular views of the Brenta Dolomites. The trail is usually well-marked and frequented, making it relatively safe. The ascent takes approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes, while the descent is about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

History
The Nambino Mountain Hut, located on the shores of the lake bearing the same name at 1768 meters, is a place rich in history and tradition. Built in 1933 by siblings Giovanni and Maria Serafini, the hut has remained in the hands of the Serafini family to this day.

ITINERARY
From the parking area (1632 m), follow the signs for the Nambino Mountain Hut along the trail marked with signpost 217. Upon reaching the Nambino Mountain Hut (1768 m), turn left and continue on the same path. During the climb, you will pass a water intake of the aqueduct before arriving at Nero Lake (2246 m). From there, it is about 30 minutes of walking to reach Serodoli Lake (2370 m). To return, follow the same trail back to the starting point.
