Embark on an easy hike around Lake Champedel, also known as Lech de Ciampedel, a picturesque meltwater lake in the Vallelunga near Selva di Val Gardena. This route offers stunning views of the South Tyrolean Dolomites and flowering meadows, making it an idyllic and peaceful experience. The trail is considered easy, covering 3.0 miles (4.9 km) with a minimal elevation gain of 541 feet (165 metres), and typically takes about 1 hour and 28 minutes to complete.
Planning your visit is straightforward, as the starting point is conveniently located next to a parking lot. The paths are easily accessible, featuring gravel and unpaved sections with very little asphalt. You will find amenities like benches for resting and shelters along the way, ensuring a comfortable outing for all skill levels, including beginners and families.
What makes this trail truly special is the ephemeral nature of Lake Champedel itself. This unique jade-colored lake appears each year in June as the snow melts and typically lasts only for a couple of weeks before sinking back into the soil. Seeing this fleeting natural wonder is a special event, and the area is part of the protected Puez-Geisler Nature Park.
