    Hiking

    A suggestive church on the shores of the lake set in a breathtaking view. Excellent starting point for numerous treks

    Hiking

    The ascent to Lago di Cignana takes place mostly in the forest, i.e. in the shade. The Rifugio Jean Barmasse is a good place to stop off. The GPS was a bit tricky up here and we had to cross the meadow once. The path is not always well marked or recognizable. But a very nice route.

    Hiking

    The Cignana Lake Dam stands majestically at over 2,100 meters above sea level, creating a suggestive body of water framed by the mountains of Valtournenche.

    This impressive engineering work not only regulates the course of the water, but enriches the Alpine landscape with its austere charm. Reachable via a pleasant path, the lake and the dam offer an ideal destination for those seeking a walk among nature, history and spectacular views.
