Hiking
A small lake halfway between the Passo di Vallanta and the Refuge du Viso, a peaceful place to take a break.

Hiking
From the lake onwards, the fun is over for mountain bikers; from there it's a steep uphill climb over huge boulders, requiring carrying, climbing, and lifting the bike. It's only for hardcore bikers, but it's a great area and a beautiful refuge.
