Lake Palu' with joëlette

Once you arrive, it is recommended to walk around the lake (trail track in the photos) to enjoy all the colors that the lake itself produces with the different surrounding landscapes. The path that goes all around the lake is about 3 km long, simple and almost completely flat. Once you reach the farthest banks, you can admire the peaks of the mountain chain with Mount Disgrazia reflected in the lake. There are various ways to reach Lake Palu'; below three are described, the first of which refers to the GPS track. Departure from the parking lot near the Prati Pedrana ski lifts. After leaving the car, continue along the asphalt road, and after several switchbacks, you reach the Barchi locality, where there is a widening used as a parking lot. Then continue on an easy dirt path and, following the signs, you reach the lake basin. In a few minutes of short ascent, you can reach the Palu' Refuge. During the summer season or in the absence of snow on the road, it is possible to continue by car up to the parking lot in the Barchi area, and from here continue along the same path as the previous itinerary. The road, asphalted, is quite winding with several switchbacks but with many widenings that allow vehicles coming from the opposite direction to pass. Leave the car at the Snow Eagle cable car parking lot in Chiesa Valmalenco, at Vassalini locality. The cable car (accessible) takes you directly to the 2000 m of Alpe Palu' and from here by means of an accessible train you arrive near the restaurant I Campanacci. To reach Lake Palu', you must follow one of the various easy marked paths which, in about 1 km of walking and descending about 90 m of elevation, lead near the lake shore.
