Lago Pisciadu…can you spot the tent?!

The Dolomites: Lago Pisciadu

Anywhere you choose to camp in the Dolomites is sure to provide an unforgettable experience – not many campers are able to say they once camped in a UNESCO World Heritage Site! Pitching up in the Dolomites’ more popular areas can be tricky, but along the lengthy Alta Via trails, you can pretty much pick your spot.

One of the most spectacular of these spots is to be found a short distance from Rifugio Pisciadu on Alta Via #2. Behind the Rifugio, a tiny, meltwater lake at 2,600m provides the perfect location for a night or two of peaceful and scenic high-altitude camping, not to mention a great base for exploring the highlights of Alta Via #2 itself.
