Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This small, beautiful lake is best visited in autumn when the colours are amazing due to the "mirtille" plants all have gone red [see images]. The lake is home to a rare frog [only lives here] btw. Directions to get to Lago Nero. Drive up to Abetone [from La Lima]. Just before the village of Abetone [a dreadful place btw] you will see a sign at the left of the main road for Val di Luce [downhill] and the botanical gardens [uphill]. When you arrive at the bot. gardens, park in front, or when full, drive a bit further up on the road where you will see a large parking lot [used in the old days for skiers]. Put on your walking boots and walk appr. up in 1,5 hours [uphill] to Lago Nero [signposted, track 102 and 104]. When arriving at Lago Nero [there is a rifugio, open all year] you have many other possibilities to hike further up. One of the nicest ones i.m.o. is to go further uphill to Campolino [track 100] where you may encounter marmots on the rocks on the way up. Used to be an old ski station which was removed a few years ago. Take water and food with you.

Just before you get to the town of Abetone, take the road signed to Orto Botanico di Abetone. Park just beyond the gardens (plenty of space) and walk up towards the forest.
The majority of the walk to the lake is uphill and at times VERY steep. However, the walk through the beech wood forest is lovely and the views once you get to the lake are spectacular. About halfway up there is a refuge (not always open) surrounded by lots of picnic tables in the shade of the trees and a fresh water spring - a great place to stop, eat and rest. There is also a small shrine here dedicated to 5 partisans who were killed there in WW2.
The last part of the walk to the lake is VERY steep and partly weaving between the trees but once at the lake the views more than make up for the effort. There is also a refuge at the lake (please note: at times of drought, the toilets here are closed).
Of course, the return journey is much easier as it is all downhill

Wearied by museums and buildings I looked for a way to get out into the fabulous surrounding countryside. Michel had lots of ideas but this one was the one I chose first. It did not disappoint. tranquil, challenging, and with a swim too. perfect. I shall be taking Michel's advice again.

The walk lasted 2h 30min, it was quite steep and at the end very rocky, you have to be careful but it was all worth it with the impressive view of the mountains. Perfect for completely disconnecting from your routine and being immersed in nature, it is a good idea to pack a picnic and bring a blanket to lie down on the grass and take the most relaxing naps possible. An unforgettable experience! I would recommend wearing shoes suitable for wet terrain.

Stiamo pensando con un paio di amici di visitarlo il prossimo fine settimana(7-8 sett), sarà aperto il rifugio? Inoltre c’è possibilità di passarvi la notte?
Written 29 August 2019
Il rifugio, gestito da volontari del CAI, è aperto nei fine settimana. Solo in caso non ci siano volontari disponibili o ci sia maltempo potrebbe rimanere chiuso.
Bisogna informarsi e prenotare al numero di cellulare pubblicato sulla pagina Facebook del Bivacco Lago Nero.

Buongiorno. Volevo sapere se con un cane (sendo le rocce ) é fattibile il percorso
Written 13 August 2019
Fino al lago Nero i cani arrivano tranquillamente, riescono facilmente anche a salire sulla vetta dell'Alpe delle Tre Potenze.
Invece se dal lago volete andare al monte Gomito per gli animali potrebbe essere pericoloso. Rocce difficili ai Denti della Vecchia e passaggio esposto sul sentiero che evita i Denti della Vecchia.

Ciao a tutti abbiamo zaino con bimbo di 8 mesi, volevamo raggiungere il lago nero ma non trovo indicazioni riguardo alla funivia, volevo sapere se è fattibile. Grazie
Written 6 August 2019
Potete prendere l'ovovia dell'Abetone verso il monte Gomito. Da lì due sentieri ben segnalati vi porterebbero al lago Nero.
Esiste però una difficoltà oggettiva da valutare con attenzione. Un passaggio esposto in roccia sotto i denti della Vecchia.
Alternativa migliore la partenza 400 metri dopo il parcheggio dell'Orto botanico forestale di Boscolungo, sempre in zona Abetone. Il sentiero è ben segnalato, in una ora e mezza di salita, a tratti un po' ripida, sarete al lago Nero.

Salve a tutti volevo sapere se qualcuno ha affrontato la passeggiata d'inverno in compagnia cane.. è fattibile?
Written 24 January 2019
Secondo me con la neve si cancella il sentiero e diventa complicato.
Written 25 January 2019
Circa 4/5 chilometri dopo il passo dell'Abetone (per chi proviene da Modena), appena passata la località Le Regine e precisamente in località Fontana Vaccaia, si svolta a destra con direzione Pian degli Ontani su una stretta stradina. Dopo circa un chilometro si torna a svoltare a destra in una stradina ancor più stretta, seguendo l'indicazione Orto Botanico. Dopo circa un chilometro e mezzo si arriva al predetto Orto Botanico, nei pressi del quale si può parcheggiare. Da qui si risale a piedi una comoda carreggiata distinta dal segnavia 106 che, in circa 1 o 2 ore, a seconda del passo, porta al Lago Nero.

Un bivacco che non sempre troverete aperto se fossi in loro mi porterei l'occorrente
Written 11 August 2018
Il tratto dall'Orto Botanico al Lago Nero è tra gli alberi. All'altezza del lago gli alberi finiscono.

Secondo voi è adatta come escursione anche per bambini di un anno e mezzo?
Grazie
Written 7 July 2018
Dovrai portarlo molto in braccio, la strada è una mulattiera è in alcuni tratti parecchio salita.
