    The Lago della Rossa is located in the municipality of Usseglio and is the largest lake in the Lanzo Valleys. It is a very beautiful lake, one of the most spectacular destinations in the valley.



    The Red Lake takes its name from the top of the Red Cross, 3566 meters high, which is reflected in its waters.



    It was born as a small natural lake, then the construction of the dam, which took place between 1931 and 1934, made it significantly expand and made it, at the time, the highest artificial lake in Europe.

      A lake with a massive dam used for electricity generation. It can be reached from several points, the most convenient being via Dietro la Torre lake, starting from Pian Sulè (3 hours by road + 30 minutes on a trail).
