Colbricon Lakes

The Colbricon lakes are one of the most extraordinary contexts of the Park: they can be reached from Passo Rolle after half an hour of walking. Along the way you can see both the splendid panorama towards the Pale di San Martino with the Cimon de la Pala and the Lagorai chain. Beside the vegetation rich in centuries-old tree plants such as larches and stone pines, it is not excluded that various specimens of alpine fauna can be observed, such as chamois, marmots, eagles. After walking along spectacular forests, the splendid scenery of the Colbricon Lakes appears almost suddenly to the visitor’s gaze.
The lakes have both a tectonic and glacial origin: the smallest, rise at 1909 meters and the largest at 1922 meters. These pools of water are immersed in an extraordinary landscape of dwarf bushes, rhododendrons and junipers. From here it is possible to see the top of the Colbricon in front. The area was the scene of war between Italians and Austrians between 1915 and 1918.
