Lake Route

An unmissable route that, starting from Mortisa, touches Lake Ajal and Lake Pianozes, crossing spectacular rivers and forests. This route offers tranquility and amazement at every stretch thanks to unexpected views and little-known sections. The entire path unfolds to the west, in the area of Mortisa, Pòcol and Campo.

Starting from the characteristic village of Mortisa, head towards trail no. 428 which begins at the end of the houses and you will immediately find yourself immersed in the forest in a surreal atmosphere. Along the way, you will be able to notice a very delicate view that allows you to admire the Becco di Mezzodì on one side and the majestic Antelao on the other, before finding yourself again among trees and powerful rocks. Continuing along the path, on the right you should find trail no. 451 which will take you directly to Pocol. This stretch is slightly uphill with an elevation gain of about 250 m, but the beauty of the forest and the peace of nature will make every challenge rewarding. Once you reach the top, you will emerge in the small village of Pocol; from here, continue along provincial road 638 (direction Passo Giau) to Peziè de Parù.

Once in the area, turn left and take trail no. 406, a generally downhill path surrounded entirely by firs, larches and pines. Upon reaching the junction with trail 431, take the latter towards Lake Ajal. The basin is an unexpected gem in the middle of the forest: it is common to find ducks and drakes that have now made the place their home.

From here continue on trail no. 430 to Lake Pianozes, then reach Campo di Sotto; passing between houses and heading towards the forest, take the uphill trail no. 451 until it meets again with trail 428 that will bring you back to Mortisa.
