If I counted correctly, this was my fifth trip to Lake Saoseo. Although you can take a postbus from Sfazù to the Rifugio Saoseo, you have to reserve a seat here in advance and this is only possible from Monday to Friday. I was always there on weekends and my plans are too spontaneous for such long-term reservations. So always walk up the farm track, four kilometers, 400 meters in altitude, sometimes quite steep. And finally twenty minutes over a breakneck mountain path to the lake. The whole thing back afterwards. And then I've never been able to get a decent picture of this picturesque, but also quite overcrowded lake. That evening the clouds promised a colorful sunset. However, it had closed some time before, not even the mountain peaks could be seen anymore. A few minutes before sunset it broke up again, but there were still too many clouds (and in the wrong place) for the expected color spectacle. Still my best picture so far...
