Camunian treks to the Grom Lakes

Where
Incudine (BS)

Malga Salina, just above Incudine, is the start of one of the most stunning trails through the middle Valle Camonica: the trail up to the Grom Lakes. The hike takes you through meadows, stone quarries and woods at high altitudes, up to the silent green waters of these glacier lakes.

 

You come to the first after about an hour and a half's walk, at 2,340 metres: a lake surrounded by rocks and meadows, reflecting the peaks all around. From here, if you have the energy, you can continue along a more difficult path up to the second lake, a little higher up, and just under two hours away from the starting point. Both lakes are striking because of the deep colour of their waters, which change with the light during the day, creating different, ever more stunning scenery.

The route is not just about panoramic views: it is also an opportunity to meet alpine wildlife. You may see the golden eagles in flight over the glacial cirques or glimpse the chamois or ibex deer that move among the rocks. Lower down, birds such as choughs or kestrels may join you on your walks.

With its 340 metres of height difference, the path to the Grom Lakes is accessible to anyone with a minimum of familiarity with mountain walks, although the higher sections are more exposed. Once there, however, your effort is more than repaid as you contemplate an unspoiled corner that tells you the long history of the glaciers that modelled these valleys.
