Roràの湖・トップ5

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.

Lago Verde Piccolo is one of the jewels of the Vallone dei Tredici Laghi, a suggestive and uncontaminated corner of the Cottian Alps. This small lake enchants with its deep green waters, enclosed by dark rocks and alpine meadows.
