バルディッセーロカナヴェーゼの湖・トップ5

A beautiful lake among the woods of Valchiusella, reachable on foot on easy paths, but also by car

Small intra-moraine lake, fed by rainwater in the small basin created by the Balteo Glacier in this moraine, which dates back more than one hundred thousand years. The name “paolet” in the local dialect means “small swamp” because over time this lake has partially filled with organic material created by the decomposition of aquatic vegetation. At the moment the water remains only in a ring outside the lake while in the center an islet has already formed: if there is no human intervention, the lake will gradually fill up completely. This is a site of great naturalistic importance for the many species that inhabit it, including the Pelobates fosco insubrico, a small toad at risk of extinction and for this reason the subject of a European protection project.

An easy climb that rewards you with a view of the lake and its dam. Pay attention to cars, the road is not very wide in some places.

This tour is not recommended if you have dogs, the free stretches are too short. along Alice lake, poorly maintained, poorly signposted. we got lost several times making the itinerary unpleasant. Lake Meugliano is beautiful and well maintained but should be visited during the week as it can be reached by car. we won't do it again.

The Monti Pelati, also called Monti Rossi, are a narrow band of hills located between Baldissero Canavese and Vidracco, characteristic precisely because their color and arid territory make them stand out from the rest of the environment. The reason why the territory looks like this is because it is composed of Peridotite rocks, rich in iron and magnesium. Peridotites are very hard and compact rocks that resist erosive agents more than other rock materials. From the alteration of iron and magnesium minerals, very acidic and poorly developed soils are generated. The vegetation that covers this small relief is consequently poor in trees but rich in uncommon herbaceous and shrubby species. Suitable for MTB and GRAVEL Drinking fountains along the path Separate waste collection. Panoramic view of the Gurzia Lake Dam.

A dream landscape like in fairy tales. Place of peace, easy to reach. For those who love close connection with nature I highly recommend it. All around the lake there is an easy path shaded by centuries-old trees that refresh the air. The lake is home to a large number of fish that can be seen swimming on the edges and among the yellow flowers similar to small water lilies. A few meters from the lake there is a restaurant or for those wishing to eat with a packed lunch there is an area used for with wooden benches and tables.

Very beautiful lake located in a beautiful pine forest, with a path that runs along it. Ample parking nearby. Possibility of walks in the wood that runs along it. Oasis of tranquility

Lake Meugliano is a morainic lake located in Meugliano, in Valchiusella, 700 meters above sea level. Very popular on weekends and summer days, a destination for families who want to relax on its banks and perhaps have a picnic in the greenery. Also an ideal destination for a post-lunch walk if you have been eating in the nearby restaurant. It is a beautiful body of water, surrounded by coniferous and broad-leaved forests. In fact, following a nature trail it is possible to walk around the ring of the lake or deviate along the path in the woods to immerse yourself even more in nature.
