About
The Lakes of Porcile (not to be confused with the Lakes of Percile) are a group of three small alpine lakes located in the Orobic Alps, within the Val Lunga—one of the two main branches of Val Tartano. Val Tartano is part of the Valtellina Orobie Park, a protected area comprising twelve valleys in the Lombardy region of northern Italy. The lakes primarily collect rainwater and snowmelt originating from the surrounding peaks, including Mount Cadelle, Mount Valegino, Porcile Pass, and Valle dei Lupi. A steep mountain trail connects the lakes to the nearby Tartano Pass, providing access for hikers and visitors.
