Embark on the Lagoni and Badignana Huts Loop, a moderate hike that guides you through the diverse landscapes of the Appennino Tosco Emiliano National Park. This route covers 3.7 miles (6.0 km) with an elevation gain of 1013 feet (309 metres), typically taking around 2 hours and 11 minutes to complete. You will start near Rifugio Lagoni, following a cobbled path before ascending into ancient beech forests, enjoying splendid views of the Lagoni Lakes and passing by the distinctively dark Lago Scuro.
Access to the trailhead is straightforward, usually starting from Rifugio Lagoni itself. Be prepared for varied terrain, which includes accessible paths, mountain trails, and some unpaved sections. It is wise to wear appropriate footwear, as certain areas, particularly the peat bogs, can be wet and marshy, requiring careful footing.
This loop offers a continuous change of scenery within the Parco dei Cento Laghi, showcasing not only the lakes but also expansive pastures and unique peat bogs. The return journey often follows a wide mule track, providing a different perspective on the natural beauty of the region. It is a rewarding experience for anyone looking to explore the rich ecosystems of this national park.
