The absence of challenging stretches, the harmony of the paths and the tranquility of Lake Tret make this hike a popular family choice.
Lake Tret is a favourite destination for locals in all seasons. It is easy to understand why: the lake can be reached in just 40 minutes on foot, its waters are suitable for swimming and nearby there is a mountain hut and a farmstead. In spring the meadows are a picture of golden buttons. In summer a dip in its waters is a healthy cure for one and all. In autumn, with fog and mist it takes on a mystical aspect. And in winter if the temperatures are low and the snow not yet abundant you can even skate there!
The itinerary presented here proposes a circular route through the woods. If you just want to get to the lake, you can go back the same way. Calculate 40 minutes for the ascent and 30 minutes for the descent.A few minutes' walk from the lake you will find the Malga di San Felice and the Rifugio Waldruhe, which offer simple and genuine dishes, all of them made in the malga farmstead.
Near the car park is the small Hotel Scoiattolo. Its wooded terrace and excellent cakes are well worth a visit and round off well a wonderful day in close contact with nature!
