Classic itinerary in Valmaggiore, not far from the village of Predazzo.
The Lagorai Chain is famous for its wild and remote spots, elements that make it particularly suggestive. Lago Cece is no exception and the path that reaches it is very fascinating. Near the lake there is a characteristic wooden hut that is always open and a table with 2 benches ideal for a tasty picnic.
From the lake it is possible to continue along the trail no. 336 and reach the characteristic Laghetto Caserina in less than an hour.
Lake Cece is a barrier-free excursion and it is also accessible to nature lovers on wheelchair on a dedicated path.
