Easy hikes and walks around Lake Scandarello

The walking path along the lake has disappeared; you have to climb a steep, tree-covered bank. It's impassable and not recommended!

This large meadow is located at an altitude of 1,364 meters above sea level. It can be reached with an easy walk from Cornillo (or Malepasso). It is a perfect place for a family picnic and to find some cool air on hot summer days. From spring to late summer the field is covered with countless types of flowers.

This seasonal lake is fed by local shepherds to water their cows in the summer. It is located on a sort of natural balcony with an incredible view of the Laga mountains and the valley below. A pleasant place for a nice picnic.
