    The lake is beautiful, a mirror that perfectly reflects the Monte Matto in the background. The climb from the Valasco plateau is a bit steep, and not always well signposted, but it's worth it!

      On the French side you could pass either from the Fremamorta pass or from the Bassa del Drous and then descend to the Valasco plain and go up again to the Valcuca lake ... it is absolutely forbidden to bring animals even on a leash because it is a protected area!

        Hi, can anyone confirm if it is possible to go up to Lake Valcuca from the French side? Val de tinee'.
        Maps shows me the route, but I have never found confirmation on the path.
