Turn-by-turn directions

Head out from Cristauta car park and follow the ‘Troi dla Schirlates’ (the squirrel path) which is recognisable by a stylised squirrel on its signposts. The hiking trail leads to a clearing and then across Val Gardena’s typical conifer forests. Walk past smaller lakes until you reach the largest mountain lake on the Mastlé mountain pasture – idyllic Lech Sant, which is Ladin for ‘holy lake’. Take some time to admire the scenery and the stunning, mountain panorama. Return to the starting point via the forest path.
