This short hike takes us to the clear lakes above Cavalese, near the Valle di Lagorai with views of the Dolomites

In Cavalese, we take the cable car to Doss dei Laresi and then another cable car and a chair lift to Paion del Cermis at 2,200 m a.s.l., the starting point of our hike. We follow trail SAT 353 (also marked L03) past the "Panoramio Lagorai 360" viewpoint and continue towards the Forcella del Bombasèl, a mountain pass. We descend the long and steep stairway and soon reach the path leading directly to the lakes which we reach after a 40 minute walk.
Nearby the meadows of Bombasèl, dominated by the peaks of the Lagorai group, we find a large lake and several smaller ones, as well as ponds and swamps. This is an ideal spot to recharge your batteries while making a picnic outdoors. More ambitious hikers can continue towards Cima Lagorai or descend to Lago di Lagorai. Both are longer hikes requiring several hours. Today however, we prefer relaxing in nature before descending on the same path to the chair lift station for our return to the Val di Fiemme.
