Hike on the Sentiero degli Gnomi to Lake Caprioli

The Sentiero degli Gnomi connects Pellizzano in the Val di Sole with Lago dei Caprioli at Malga Bassa di Fazzon

This easy and comfortable themed walk leads us to a stunning lake in the forest. In Pellizzano, we follow the signposts towards Fazzon and Lago dei Caprioli. At the southern edge of the village, the Sentiero della Palù - a forest path to Malga Bassa di Fazzon - begins. The first section is known as the Sentiero degli Gnomi, thanks to the sculptures of wood, stones and other natural materials that we can admire along the path. There are witches, forest spirits, animals, and, of course, gnomes. This path is particularly appreciated by children.

Slightly higher up, the itinerary crosses a small marsh via wooden bridges and then continues towards Malga Bassa di Fazzon, where it meets an asphalt road. From here, it is only 400 metres until we reach the lake. Lago di Fazzon, also known as Lago dei Caprioli, is located in a basin embedded in a coniferous forest. After our tour around the lake, we take a break at the hotel on its northern shore. For our return journey, we take the same path.
