Punta Quinzeinaへのハイキングを開始するために駐車できる展望地点

スイセンの花と背景にモンテ・ヴァル・オ

Lake Candia (in Piedmontese lagh ëd Candia), located in the municipality of Candia, in the Canavese area, about thirty kilometers from Turin, is the last highly natural lake basin in the Piedmontese Po Valley, before the mountain barrier represented by the Western Alps.

The Church of Saint Elizabeth can be seen from tens (perhaps even hundreds) of kilometers away. It's the little white dot you see on clear days when looking toward Quinzeina. Reaching it by bike is wonderful, though quite tiring...

The area depicted in these images is located a short distance from the parking lot where it's best to leave your car and explore (on foot or by bike) the countless trails that surround the lake. This is one of the few truly accessible areas along the entire perimeter because, perhaps to protect the lake's fragile ecosystem, the trail that circles it is kept at a constant distance. In any case, aside from the lake, the entire surrounding rural area is worth a visit, still pleasantly unspoiled. A trip in autumn is highly recommended for the myriad colors of the vegetation. Both cyclists and walkers should be careful, as I didn't notice any distinction between trails reserved for mountain bikes and those reserved for pedestrians; many secondary paths have dead ends!

Accessible by car via a somewhat narrow but recently restored paved road, it is in excellent condition. Ample parking is available. It has a barbecue and picnic area. It's also an excellent starting point for reaching the surrounding peaks.

Beautiful waterfall on the road to Fondo. Visible from the road...

A nice detour going up to Brosso. Worth a few more minutes of pedaling...
