    Running

    Lake delle Fate is an enchanting body of water created by the Quarazza stream in the valley of the same name. The water takes on a beautiful emerald green hue. The paths leading here are very easy, although some are steep. You can take a break to eat or drink something in one of the two restaurants in an evocative atmosphere. The view is breathtaking.

    Artificial lake formed by the barrage of the Quarazza torrent, in the valley of the same name (side valley to the Anzasca Valley, near Macugnaga). Easily reachable from the Borca hamlet.
