The Mangart Lakes, also known as the Fusine Lakes, are two glacial lakes in the municipality of Tarvisio, close to the Slovenia border. They make for an easy and scenic day trip in the Julian Alps, with an upper and a lower lake framed by forest, mountain slopes, and views toward Mangart and the surrounding peaks.
This is a classic nature outing with broad appeal. The recommended loop around the lakes is listed as easy (T1), about 5.4 km long, with roughly 104 m of ascent and an estimated duration of 2 hours. That makes it suitable for a relaxed walk, photography, and a straightforward alpine experience rather than a demanding hike.
From Tarvisio, follow signs for Fusine toward the Slovenia border. At the fork near the village, take the road signed for Laghi di Fusine; the asphalt road leads to the car park at the lower lake. Above the basin sits Rifugio Luigi Zacchi, which can be reached by a longer service road or by shorter, more demanding paths.
The lakes themselves are accessible at all times, but parking is regulated and paid on dates set by the Municipality of Tarvisio. For the 2026 season, the municipality published paid-parking dates that include 17–31 August 2026; always check the official municipal notice before going, especially for seasonal hours and prices. For dogs, strollers, toilets, and any route restrictions, check with the operator because policies can change. Best seasons are late spring, summer, and early autumn.
We verify details against official sources and structure them as a practical guide. Always reconfirm changing information with the operator.
