Val Nambino starts from the center of Madonna di Campiglio and, in a short time and modest elevation gain, the itinerary leads to the charming basin that hosts the lake and the Nambino Refuge.
It is no coincidence that this is one of the most frequented destinations in the Madonna di Campiglio area. Reachable on foot from the town yet completely immersed in the silence of untouched and wild nature, Val Nambino is known for the warm refuge of the same name and the beautiful lake in which it is reflected.
Among the serene waters of Lago Nambino, there is a legend shrouded in mystery and magic, a story passed down through generations. In ancient times, it is said that a massive dragon inhabited the depths of the lake, quiet and reserved. It spent long periods resting on the bottom, feeding on algae and fish, while from time to time it emerged to enjoy the warmth of the sun on the surrounding rocks... If you want to know more, stop at the refuge for a break, where you can read the story of the dragon painted on the walls.
The lake is surrounded by meadows and peaks, an ideal place to relax, fish, do yoga or simply enjoy the regenerating peace of nature and water.
