Lake Lamar
Alpine lake in Trentino, Italy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lago di Lamar is an alpine lake in the Valle dei Laghi, in southwestern Trentino, Italy, located at 750/800 meters above sea level. It is situated between the northern slopes of Monte Soprasasso, which separate it from the underlying Adige Valley (to which its hydrographic basin belongs) to the east, and the Paganella, to the west. Due to its position, it can be attributed both to the Valle dei Laghi, due to geographical proximity, and to the Adige Valley basin.[1]
