The Alpe Lago or Lago di Chiesa

Among larches and dwarf pines to the beautiful basin of Alpe Lago. The itinerary starts at the first hairpin bend, after leaving Chiesa, along the road to Primolo. Follow the snow-covered road that climbs through the larch forest and, leaving on the right the path that goes up to Alpe Giumellino, you reach Alpe Lago. On the map only this itinerary is shown but below we will try to give the different possibilities. The return can be made by the same ascent itinerary or from Lago di Chiesa continue north towards the locality of Pirlo and then the town of Primolo. Pirlo is characterized by the interesting soapstone trail which also passes by an old lathe. The return can also be made from Pirlo following the path or the road that connects Alpe Lago - Pirlo. Continuing on a contour path you arrive at Primolo and from here a path quickly returns to Chiesa in Valmalenco, in the district of Gande. If you want to make this circular trip it is advisable to leave the car already in the morning at the parking lot of this district. Alternatively from Primolo follow the road that goes down and returns to the first hairpin bend where the car was left. Refreshment points: none unless you reach Primolo.
