シリオ湖のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Pier on the lake with excellent views for photos

From the catwalk, we saw the catfish slowly emerging from the water and then sinking again (impressive, it can reach 2.5 meters in length and 130 kg) 29/11/25

Beautiful walkway from where you can admire Lake Sirio!

Lake Sirio in the summer is a real gem. Lush nature on the edge of the lake with the possibility of running or walking for about 3 km around it, including a short stretch of dirt. For swimming enthusiasts there is an embarrassment of choice because of all 5 morainic lakes in the area of the 5 lakes, this is the largest in terms of extension. The stretch that I have defined is a lap that touches the landing stage of the private rowing club, goes around the yellow buoys for the entire lake in the parts close to the banks. From mid-April (for the more daring with a wetsuit) until the end of September the temperatures allow swimming. I strongly recommend everyone to swim, however always bringing with them a floating buoy or a board with a belt tied around their waist.

It is a unique place of its kind. In a rather small and circumscribed area 2 steps from the Montalto lake (also called "Rabbit" lake) there is an area with a very dark soil composed of water, peat, earth and medium-sized trees. Especially when the ground is wet or it has rained previously if you jump on the surface, it moves creating small waves making the surrounding trees dance. A real show! You can reach the dancing lands from 2 different dirt tracks. For those with good technical skills the entry or exit paths in both directions are also fun to pedal.

Regardless of whether you reach the Serra di Ivrea or not, even wandering around these lakes, taking advantage of the good signage present, pays off! There is a nice variety of environments and paths, from single track to dirt road, ending on cobblestone sections, never too banal, especially in the wet... the lake environments are beautiful, given that most of these lakes are not very urbanized, the stilt houses rebuilt on the shore of Lake Pistono are very beautiful, they certainly deserve a stop. Places also suitable for children, given that in the lake area the differences in altitude are very modest... just watch out for hikers, because the paths are open to everyone!

Beautiful place, great for spending a Sunday in nature without thinking about the altitude difference 😜

technical route, with little time available it's perfect!
