Detail of erosion of the soil dug by the drainage of water

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 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!

From the centre of the village you start to climb

Andrate is one of the places of the heart...

A photo on the park's pier is a must. Stunning view...

In reality, this place is not so "flat" because, from when the slopes become less steep to when the descent begins, there will not even be a hundred meters ... but the environment is superb, high mountain, and makes up for the road that, especially towards Frassinetto, is not in such good condition. There is nothing, not a bar, not a fountain ... but it is worth stopping and admiring the splendid panorama. Going up from Frassinetto the slope, after the village, becomes discontinuous and challenging, more gradual if you go up from Colleretto Castelnuovo, where the road alternates beautiful hairpin bends in the woods ... however, it is not a gift from this side either!
