Cima Ziolera, Lake Montalon and Lake Buse

DESCRIPTION
Enchanting views of the Lagorai Group: a unique excursion.
We are located in the central part of the Lagorai mountain group, in Trentino, and we want to offer you an itinerary of medium difficulty. The excursion begins at Passo Manghen and, in addition to Cima Ziolera, which overlooks the pass offering an exceptional panoramic view, we invite you to take a wonderful circular tour that includes two splendid lakes: Lake Montalon and Lake delle Buse. As you know, the Lagorai Group is little frequented and offers a wild and uncontaminated natural environment, far from the crowds of Sunday hikers.
For those wishing to shorten the journey, it is good to know that from the Ziolera and Pala del Becco forks you can cut, respectively avoiding the Montalon massif first and then Pala del Becco.
