We go on the cable car at "Marilleva 1400" and go down at the "malga Panciana". Turn immediately to the right in the direction of the refuge Orti , that we reach after 1 km walking on a nice pine tree wood among flowers and butterflyes .
The loud music and the beach atmosphere at the refuge make us go straight on the path 202. We walk go over a bridge on a torrent before we cross the trail (turn left at the cross) rising towards the "Malghette di Mezzana ". From here we easily reach a fork , turn right to photograph the two Malghette Mezzana lakes , the landscape is nice but they are not the most beautiful lakes I've seen in the area.
Let's go back to the fork, here you can go back (towards the Malga Panciana, Orti refuge or even Marilleva 1400) or you can continue the rising path on the right, to reach the so called "Bassetta di Vigo". Here on the right will start an easy path that leads to the Three Lakes and to the Lake Alto (al least 3 ours walking, one way), while on the left can be easy reached the shelter "Orso Bruno" which is just a few minutes away and where you can return to Marilleva. Overall, the tracked path from Malga Panciana to the "Malghette di Mezzana" lakes is 3,1 km long with 300 meters of elevation gain.
