Subjects : Lake Emet is an alpine lake located, at an altitude of 2,145 meters, in the municipality of Madesimo (SO) in the upper Spluga Valley.It is located approximately halfway between the artificial lake of Montespluga and Lake Lei. A little further north is the border with Switzerland at the Niemet Pass. Almost circular in shape (diameter about 300 meters) it has several small tributaries and an emissary that descends towards Madesimo. Near the lake stands the Giovanni Bertacchi refuge (2,175 meters).

Recommended equipment : Any camera, as always better a full format for landscapes. Wide angle lens, tripod, filters.

Best months : From late spring to early autumn. We are at high altitude, beware of the cold. It is an area with perennial wind. We stayed at the end of August and the temperatures in the night (in Tenda) were close to zero.

How to get there : From Milan direction Valchiavenna. Once in Chiavenna follow the SS36 state road to Montespluga. You park near the Lake 8300mt of altitude difference). Alternative starting from the valley floor (Madesimo) are 600mt of altitude difference.

Visits : There are no schedules of course, always open. I recommend as always sunrise and sunset.
