Lago delle Locce

Highlight • Lake

A small natural lake of glacial origin, not too far from the Zamboni refuge. The lake area has been subject to some landslides in recent years and the path is sometimes closed. If in doubt, inquire at the refuge.

Belvedere Glacier Moraine

Highlight • Natural Monument

Certainly suggestive passage on the sides of the Belvedere ice moraine, once crossable but no longer. This side, reachable by climbing from the ski slope paths, allows you to admire the ice and the consequences of its slow retreat.

Great reference point in the Belvedere area on the trail of the ski slopes and on the way to go to Zamboni and Lago delle Locce. Can be very busy, check availability in high season!

July 15, 2025, Hike Macugnaga-Lago delle Locce 🇮🇹

On this trip we took the Seggiovia for the first part that is quite boring. The top of Monte Rosa was in the clouds, but it is still very impressive and powerful.
