Castel di Bombasel

You are at: Home > Castello walks > Castel di Bombasel

This walk was the first of three walks in the Lagorai, the long chain of mountains to the South of the Fiemme valley. The day started with a walk from our hotel to Cavalese ,where we took the Cermis cable car and chair lifts to the top station Paion de Cermis (2130m).
From the lift station we descended to the Forcella Bombasel, and then up to the grassy peak of Cimon della Trappola (2401m). We then walked along the ridge before scrambling up a rocky and scree path to the summit of Castel di Bombasel (2532m). After taking in the views we descended to the Laghi di Bombasel. The lake was popular - it was not too far from the top station by the direct path.
From the lake we descended down path 6 to Lago di Lagorai. We then followed a cobbled track (not too good for sore toes) down the valley for quite a while. It was hard work on the cobbles so we were glad to leave the track and pick up some forest paths that took us across to the mid station of the cable car. We then took the cable car down to Cavalese, where we had a beer at the station before catching the bus back to Castello.
