Alta Badia

Trail running Tru di lec/Lakes path

Średni

The route that starts in Badia and goes up to the idyllic lakes Lech Dlá Lunch and Lech da Sompunt is the ideal route for those who enjoy running on gravel paths, undergrowth and meadows.

As you run through fresh forests and green meadows at the foot of Mount Gherdenacia, the view sweeps freely over the Dolomite landscape. The mountains Sas dla Crusc and Lavarela are simply amazing.
