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 signposted L03) past the "Panoramio Lagorai 360" viewpoint and continue towards the Forcella del Bombasèl, a mountain pass. We descend numerous stairs and proceed along the path to the lakes, which we reach after a 40-minute walk.
In the proximity of the meadows of Bombasèl, dominated by the peaks of the Lagorai group, lie a large and several smaller lakes, ponds and swamps. This place is an ideal spot for a relaxing picnic in nature. More ambitious hikers can continue towards Cima Lagorai or descend to Lago di Lagorai. Both hikes can be completed in some hours. Today, however, we prefer enjoying nature before returning to the mountain station of the cable car along the same path. We take the cable car back to the Val di Fiemme.
