The lake occupies a deep funnel-shaped sinkhole, also shaped by glacial phenomena, and is surrounded by a severe circle of high mountains: the imposing and massive Auto Vallonasso, the rocky castellaccio of Mount Oronaye and the sharp points of the Aiguille d'Oronaye and Monte Villadel.

Lake easily accessible from the Bonelli Bivouac, in severe drought in October 2022. Surrounded by imposing peaks, suggestive panorama.

Hiking

A beautiful alpine lake that can be a destination for excursions. A few meters away is the Bonelli bivouac, and can be reached in about 2 hours from the Maira springs
