An itinerary that will allow you to admire a gem of emerald color set in the woods above the settlement of Pellizzano: the fascinating Deer Lake.
The medium difficulty route starts from Pellizzano and reaches one of the most photographed places in Val di Sole: Deer Lake. You will climb the characteristic “Gnome Path,” named after the sculptures in wood, stone, and other natural materials that can be admired along the way, until you reach the lake.
Rules for mountain walks:
From the playground located in the center of the village of Pellizzano, a characteristic mountain village where the architecture blends perfectly with the surrounding nature, you climb along the winding road leading to the lake. At the second hairpin turn, the trail begins immersed in the woods which, once you reach the wooden bridge over the Rio Fazzon, climbs through the forest following the “Gnome Path,” a route characterized by the presence of several wooden sculptures from which the path takes its name. From here, follow the signs for the “Palù Path” which in about 1 hour of walking leads to the Fazzon locality and then to the lake. Once you reach the lake, take a break on its shores and relax by this gem nestled at the foot of the Adamello-Presanella Group. The return is planned along the same route back.
