ロカーナの湖・トップ20

View of three valleys and Mont Blanc

Ridiculous climb, road and valley, first 4 km with some hard but balanced stretches of flat ground, the last 7 km are tough. Very degraded asphalt, with eight sectors where the road has been restored after landslides, then asphalt disappeared. There are 8 drainage grates to watch out for, they cross the road and are made of iron rods that fit a 25 tire comfortably. With a road bike, to be avoided on days of uncertain weather, the road sees the constant presence of stones and armrests, with water I think it's a mess.

Beautifully situated on a hill, this lake provides refreshment in the summer heat.

On the way to Colle di Bardoney, turn right towards Lago di Loie. With a bit of luck, you might see chamois and ibexes. The panoramic view is magnificent.

The small mountain lake is not far from the Rifugio Sella and impresses with its reflection of the surrounding mountains.

The route is no longer accessible, the electricity company no longer even allows hikers (you risk a fine for infringement of private property)

In Noasca the hardest part of the climb to Nivolet begins. Whether through the galleries or across the old road, the uphill section from Noasca to Ceserole Reale is the hardest area by far, with many ramps above 10%. For example, as soon as you leave Noasca, and going up a beautiful waterfall, there is a ramp that reaches 15% over 4 horseshoes. Show!
