Laghi di Cornisello, Val Nambrone

From the Cornisello car park a mule track climbs through larch and alpenrose to the lower Cornisello lake, its water coloured pale green by glacial "rock flour", and then to the upper lake at 2,120 m under the Cima Cornisello and the Presanella ridge — a classic Adamello-Brenta half-day.
