E. Morghirolo lake and the educational path

Last but not least, we recommend this trip: Morghirolo lake, back to Dalpe through the educational path and the visit to the Vecchi Alpeggi di Lei di Cima and the Morghirolo alp. If you’re lucky, you could meet steinbocks, marmots, chamoises, eagles and a rich alpine flora.

The Morghirolo lake is also called Croslina (crozlina) lake, Tencia lake or Cima lake. It is located on an icy origin rocky hollow, at the southern foot of Campolungo and it is blocked downstream from detrital masses which have detached from the Campo Tencia mountain range. These masses lean against some solid big rocks and the outflow takes place on the surface.

From the hut, you go up towards west on the new path and in 40 minutes you’ll be at the Morghirolo lake. This place is splendidly quiet. The path continues towards Cascine Lei di Cima, always following the white and blue signage, where you can appreciate the complete view on the Campo Tencia Group.

From Lei di Cima you descend on the old path and you will reach the Campo Tencia hut. Before crossing the Morghirolo river, a deviation on your left will advise you about the educational path. Along the path, you will encounter many educational signs that will accompany you through Morghirolo alp, Lambro alp, Geira alp until reaching Dalpe.
