Rifugio Canziani on the green Lake 2.560m

the Höchsterhütte - Rifugio Canziani is a mountain hut, mountain cabin, and restaurant at the end of the Ultental Valley. It lies on the left side of the so-called Green Lake, a water mirror owing its peculiar hue to a rare alga species, the only creature able to survive at 8400 feet above sea level all year long, colouring its waters.
