Lago Nambino

Lake Nambino is a glacial basin at about 1,700 metres above Madonna di Campiglio, set within the Adamello Brenta Nature Park and surrounded by forest and mountain slopes.

Why it matters

The small lake preserves the rounded form of a glacial basin beneath the Brenta group. Its shoreline and surrounding forest form part of the protected landscape of the Adamello Brenta Nature Park. A mountain refuge has stood by the water since 1933, linking the site with a long tradition of alpine hospitality.

What to notice

The shallow shore and basin show the lake's glacial origins, while the Brenta peaks provide a contrasting vertical horizon. Local tradition tells of a dragon sleeping in the water. The refuge on the shore reflects the human history of the mountain setting.

Context and history

Lake Nambino lies at roughly 1,700 metres on the slopes above Madonna di Campiglio, within the Parco Naturale Adamello Brenta. The Serafini family has run the refuge on its shore since 1933. The protected status of the surrounding landscape has helped preserve the wooded shore and glacial setting.
