The Ferrera lake is a small natural lake located in the municipality of Moncenisio, one of the smallest municipalities in Italy. Rather known by fishermen for its crystal clear waters rich in trout, it is surrounded by the imposing mountains of Lamet, to the north, and Giusalet, to the south.
The road that connects it to Novalesa is called the royal road and, before the construction of the Napoleonic road (the current Moncenisio state road), it was the only connection between France and Novalesa. The town of Ferrera (now called Moncenisio) is currently inhabited by a few residents, who have renovated numerous houses while maintaining the style of the ancient "huts" and organized the interesting ecomuseum "le terre al confine" which collects evidence of the life of the mountaineers. The town is also crossed by the "via francigena", a hiking trail that is part of a larger network of trails that were formerly used by French pilgrims on their way to Rome.

Not to be confused with Lake Moncenisio, in French territory, Lago Grande, south of Moncenisio is surrounded by lush vegetation and crowned by the imposing Piedmontese mountains.

A small lake just below Ferrera-Moncenisio, nestled among the woods. Very picturesque.
