    Hiking

    Above Val Ventina, in the upper Val Malenco, Lake Pirola seems almost hidden among screes and small cliffs. Surrounded by some peaks of about 2,400 meters above sea level, this small wedge-shaped body of water is not far from the Tartaglione Crispo refuge.

    Hiking

    Lake Pirola is a picturesque artificial lake accessible from the Gerli-Porro Refuge along a trail that crosses scree slopes and stretches where the trail merges with the rocks (markings are present but not always visible; be careful).
    The lake is surrounded by Alpine scenery and can be skirted along a scenic trail.
