We start our hiking tour in Monte Terlago, a small mountain village at 690 m a.s.l. belonging to the municipality of Terlago. At the end of the via Valar we take the trail which branches off towards east and leads us on the asphalted road to the Lamar lakes. After a while, another trail branches off from the road and runs parallel to it. After passing the picnic meadow “Fogolari” we reach the first lake, Lake Santo. We hike around it before we continue our tour to the second lake, Lake Lamar. Because of its emerald green water and the beautiful meadows at its shores we decide to have a nice rest here.

On our way back we chose another route: At the west shore of Lake Lamar we follow a forest road towards north until we reach a fork, from where we continue westwards at the foot of the Paganella mountain range. The forest road turns into a narrow trail and several serpentines later, at about 900 m a.s.l., we follow trail no. 682 down through the forest and across meadows until we reach our starting point, Monte Terlago.
