Lake above the village of Viverone

artificial lake once infested with abandoned turtles and now finally reclaimed

Lake that takes its name from the Bertignano di Viverone hamlet, quite large but not as much as Lake Viverone (third among the largest lakes in Piedmont). In the northern part there are many pylons that make the environment a bit ugly. It is possible to do a circular tour on foot, on roads that run along the entire lake.

Lake Viverone and the hills of the Serra Morenica, a unique place.

recently cleared of an infestation of American tortoises caused by the abandonment of these animals

pond recently reclaimed from the invasion of dangerous turtles once considered as "home aquarium animals". The abandonment over the years of these reptiles, which in some cases have become enormous, has been a cause of danger for people and animals.

The oasis they built with a wooden construction overlooking the lake is very pleasant

In Lake Viverone, the remains of around 5000 poles driven into the ground which supported the structures of a very ancient large pile-dwelling village dating back to the Bronze Age have been extraordinarily preserved. The site has an important archaeological value, artefacts such as swords, axes, pins and ornaments have been discovered, which have allowed us to reconstruct the life of a Bronze Age community. The site is now a World Heritage Site.
