ベルチェトの湖・トップ8

A refuge on Lago Santo Parmense. Located in a magnificent setting, it's a delightful place to stop. It's managed; all the information is on the website. It can be reached on foot or by chairlift from Lagdei.

There's not much to say here. Lago Santo is on the list of top places in our Apennines. A quick web search and a few photos are all it takes to understand what it's all about.

There is not much to say... The Lagoni are one of the superior places of our Apennines. I think that in a place like this it is a bit of a gamble to allow car traffic that in the summer period creates a situation of crowding and dust. In any case the Lagoni are always the Lagoni.

Magical environment in every season

On its banks is the "Giovanni Mariotti" refuge. Built by the local CAI section with the aim of providing shelter and accommodation for hikers, it was inaugurated on 12 September 1882. On 11 August 1935 it was dedicated to Giovanni Mariotti, mayor of the city of Parma, senator of the Kingdom and president of the CAI section of Parma from 1893 to 1935. The refuge has a kitchen service and 42 beds.

Lago Santo parmense, with its 81,550 m2 of surface, is the largest glacial lake in the province of Parma and Emilia-Romagna, and also the largest natural lake in the entire northern Apennines. It has a maximum depth of about 22.5 meters.
