Despite its uninviting name, Lake Marcio is one of the most fascinating lakes in the Twin Lakes basin. The path that surrounds it is equally characteristic, adding charm to the panorama. This artificial lake presents itself in all its splendor especially on clear sunny days, when the majestic Pizzo Farno is reflected in its basin, offering a breathtaking view.

Lake Marcio is the first lake you come across during the circular route that from Carona reaches the Laghi Gemelli refuge and returns to the town.
