Lago D'Alleghe

On the east side of the Lago D'Alleghe lies the village of Alleghe (979m/3,231ft), a popular summer resort and climbing center. From here there is a pleasant walk on a bridle-path which goes east (3 hours) to the somber Lago Coldai (2,146m/7,082ft); then another 20minutes over the Coldai pass (2,190m/7,227ft) to the Rifugio Coldai (2,150m/7,095ft), magnificently situated on the northern slopes of the massive Monte Civetta (3,218m/10,619ft), which can be climbed from here in 6 hours (guide necessary).
