The lakes are located on the broad Olbe plateau consisting of small hillocks, large hollows and grassy terraces, under the serrated ridge of monte Righile stretching out towards monte Ferro. Their waters cover the bottom of ancient basins dating back to the last Ice Age. Of the three, the most westerly is a kind of pond, the central one is small and not very visible. The most interesting is certainly the most easterly, fairly broad and very deep, with the white pinnacles of Righile reflected in its very green waters.

A varied route, sunny, a bit steep in the first section, but generally satisfying, perhaps the most striking among those which reach the lakes. As it climbs beautiful views will open before you, first towards the Clap and Siera groups, then the Terze and in particular on the Terza Grande that will appear in an unusual form of a pointed pyramid. It does not present particular difficulties although caution is recommended when crossing some erosion channels where the track may be poorly marked.
