Tour of the Moregna, Trout and Brutto lakes

DESCRIPTION
Excursion in the Lagorai Group on the side of Val di Fiemme.
The itinerary will take you to beautiful places in the eastern Lagorai that are not very popular with Sunday hikers.
You go up starting from Malga Valmaggiore, where you park, and when you arrive at Malga Moregna you make a loop around Cima Moregna touching three lakes: Lake Moregna, Lake Delle Trote and Lake Brutto. All three lakes are beautiful and nestled in the mountains. The panorama, especially when you arrive at the Forcella Moregna, becomes interesting: on one side you can see the Black Horn, the White Horn, the Adamello in the distance and the Cima Cece Group on the other.

ITINERARY
From Malga Valmaggiore (1609 m) take path 339 and go up, first on a dirt road and then on a mule track, to the Malga Moregna (2081 m) and the lake of the same name. Now the 339 is resumed and we head towards the Trout Lake. At the first crossroads, take the path on the right and go down a bit until you reach Lago delle Trote (2110 m). Go back to the crossroads and take path 349 and after 15 minutes you will arrive at Lago Brutto (2208 m). Here you skirt the lake and go up the gully reaching the Forcella Moregna (2397 m). Always go down on 349. At the first crossroads, keep to the left, at the second, always the left. Along the path 349B you return to the path 339 passing near the Malga Moregna. Now we return to the car park for 339.
