Hike to discover Lago di Mediana, among the western Carnic Alps, starting from Sella di Razzo. Easy route, with difficulties only in the last descent towards the lake.
Lago di Mediana is a small but charming alpine water mirror, hidden among the woods under the homonymous casera, in a naturalistic setting of great charm and tranquility. The hike to this small lake unfolds in a varied environment, rich in vegetation and panoramic views stretching from the peaks of Bivera, Clap Savon, Tiarfin and Brentoni up to embracing the entire valley of Sauris and the Carnia reliefs.
The route initially follows trail CAI 210, in wide high-altitude pastures allowing views of the surrounding peaks. Then it continues on CAI 209, entering quiet and increasingly dense fir forests. Right in the middle of these peaceful trees, a recently restored path leads shortly to Lago di Mediana, nestled like a green gem between firs and sky.
The small lake is the ideal place for a relaxing break, immersed in the silence of nature, among the scents of the underbrush and the sound of the wind among the firs. The environment is also perfect for those who love nature photography or simply for those seeking a still little-frequented mountain spot, far from the most beaten routes to enjoy a moment of deep peace.
An accessible and rewarding hike that combines the beauty of the alpine landscape with the pleasure of discovering a hidden and quiet corner of Carnia, ideal in summer and autumn days.
Casera Razzo, when open, offers catering services, sale of dairy products, and accommodation options, while the renovated Casera Mediana only offers catering and sale of local products.
