Lago di Erdemolo, a lake at 2,005 m a.s.l. in the unspoilt Val dei Mocheni is one of the most popular hiking destinations of this area. The itinerary runs across forests, clearings and pastures in a stunning natural landscape

In early summer, if you are lucky enough, you can admire blooming alpine roses painting the slopes with their bright, pink colours and filling the air with their sweet fragrances. In summer, the small alpine lake is still partially covered with ice and snow, making the water cold. The refreshing water is particularly suitable for footbaths and short Kneipp baths. During this excursion you will walk past the Rifugio Sette Selle, a wonderful hut in the Lagorai chain near Lago di Erdemolo.
The starting point of this hike is the paid car park near the hiking paths in Palù del Fersina in the village of Frotten/Vrottn. At the car park we take path no. 343 to Rifugio Sette Selle. After a break at the hut, we retrace our steps until we reach the crossroads where path no. 324 to Lago di Erdemolo branches off. We follow path no. 324 until the lake where we take path no. 235 back to the car park.
The only refreshment area of this itinerary is Rifugio Sette Selle.
