wandering around the lakes of the Lagorai chain II



We are in the heart of the long Lagorai chain that extends from Trento to Passo Rolle located in the Eastern part of Trentino.A long sequence of peaks of porphyry rock at first sight insurmountable.The glaciers have carved cirques and moraines that now form hundreds of lakes and bogs.
lagorai is a special and fascinating world : it's a contact with wild and solitary nature and the hundreds of lakes are many jewels in these austere and majestic environments.
