パエザナの湖・トップ10

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

Good physical fitness and a good sense of direction are required; trails are not always marked. Mountaineering gear: poles, appropriate clothing, and footwear are essential.

A beautiful hike with diverse environments and colors, from pastures, lakes, and rocky valleys. The climb to the summit is quite strenuous (especially for us, starting in the morning from sea level), but it's worth it.

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.

A lake with a glacial color, something that will amaze you every time. An excellent arrival point to enjoy a packed lunch, or to take a break before climbing to Quintino Sella. The path to reach it is not really suitable for everyone, you need to have a minimum of experience and training.

Excursion to the Quintino Sella refuge, don't get the directions wrong.

A beautiful ride that has its charm in its colors
