ポーの湖・トップ12

Beautiful and famous lake easily reachable from Pian del Re and Regina.

Near the Porta del Delta is a small campsite with cabins and pitches for camper vans. Fishermen, cyclists, and campers are welcome guests. For four years, this site has been run by a couple from Pregarten near Linz, Austria. The inn next door has unfortunately closed since then, as the owners could no longer run it. In the village of Serravalle, there are small shops and a bakery. The campsite offers outdoor and indoor kitchens, as well as barbecue grills, so guests can self-cater.

It's strange to see swans here

Very nice circular route

A few steps from the historic center of Carmagnola there is a protected area of great naturalistic interest: La Lanca di San Michele, an ancient riverbed, now abandoned, which has been transformed into a beautiful wetland rich in flora and fauna typical of the river environment and the Bosco del Gerbasso where, thanks to valuable scientific work, a strip of the original Po Valley plain forest has been recreated. Inside there is a beach, picnic area, observation points and many other points of interest.

The first structure of the Pian del Re refuge hotel was built by the Municipality of Crissolo in 1874 to accommodate mountaineers intent on climbing the Normal route of Monviso. In 1909 it became privately owned and management passed to the Perotti family, a historic dynasty of mountain guides of Monviso. Numerous paths start from here, both for day trips and for multi-day treks, such as the Giro del Monviso, or mountaineering itineraries, including the Normal route of Monviso. The refuge is open every day from the beginning of June to the end of September and offers 30 beds, in addition to a bar and restaurant service.
