Description

Starting from the Rifugio Col Gallina, take path 419 and follow it along the gentle grassy slopes up towards Monte Averau. After about 45 minutes, you will find yourself in front of the small lake of Lìmedes, whose reflection of the Tofana di Rozes is famous. You can also enjoy the view of Lagazuoi and one of the best views of Averau. It is said that when looking at the reflections on the waters of the small lake, which is particularly beautiful in spring, the purest of hearts can see the image of an eel, a water nymph in the Dolomite tradition. For the return journey, follow the same route back to Rifugio Col Gallina.
