Embark on the Three Lakes Loop from Pratospilla, a moderate hike that guides you through the scenic Parco dei Cento Laghi. This route covers 4.9 miles (7.8 km) with an elevation gain of 1384 feet (422 metres), typically taking about 2 hours and 51 minutes to complete. You'll experience a varied landscape, starting with an adventure forest near Prato Spilla Refuge before joining Route 707. The trail winds through a beautiful beech forest, leading you past Lago Ballano with its impressive sandstone waterfalls. As you continue, you'll discover Lago Verde and then ascend to Lago Martini, a serene glacial lake set against the backdrop of Monte Bragalata. Expect continuous ascents and descents, offering a rewarding physical challenge amidst stunning natural beauty.
To begin your hike, head to Prato Spilla, where you'll find convenient parking and facilities available at the Prato Spilla Lodge and Adventure Park. While the route is rated as moderate, be ready for consistent changes in elevation, especially the climb through the beech forest towards Sella Pizzo della Nonna. It's always a good idea to check local conditions before you go, as weather can impact trail accessibility. Planning your visit during favorable weather will enhance your experience on this picturesque loop.
This loop is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the natural environment of the Apennines, offering glimpses of local wildlife such as deer and eagles. You'll also pass through areas rich with blueberry and juniper thickets, adding to the sensory experience of the hike. The trail's design connects three distinct and beautiful lakes, each with its own character, making it a notable journey within the Parco dei Cento Laghi. It's an excellent choice if you're looking for a rewarding day hike that combines physical activity with diverse natural scenery.
