Fusine Lakes

Laghi di Fusine
Fusine Lakes is an interesting trip idea. This page includes a short description, location, photos and basic visit information.
Two alpine lakes below Mangart and close to the Slovenian border.

The Fusine Lakes are one of the most distinctive nature destinations in the Tarvisio area: two glacial lakes in the municipality of Tarvisio, right next to the Slovenian border, beneath the Mangart massif and inside the Conca di Fusine protected area. They make a strong day-trip choice from Upper Carniola or the Soča Valley.

Why go

The official Tarvisiano tourism site highlights the area’s geological and landscape value, while the Conca di Fusine Natura 2000 site includes the whole lake basin and the surrounding Alpine slopes. This is an outing for people who want a dramatic mountain setting without a strenuous climb.

What to do

The most popular option is the circular walk around both lakes. The tourism site lists an easy route of 5.7 km and about 1.4 hours. It works well for a relaxed stroll, photography, and short stops by the water. If you want a fuller day, the area also serves as a starting point for longer routes in the Mangart and Tarvisio mountains.

Practical

Access by car is possible, but the municipality of Tarvisio applies a seasonal paid-parking scheme at the lakes. Always check the official municipal calendar before you go, because dates and conditions can change. In the main season the site can get busy, so arriving early is a good idea.

As this is a natural area, the best visits are usually in the warmer months and snow-free periods. For current prices, access rules, and restrictions, check the official municipality or tourism website.
