ストランビノの湖・トップ20

ピストーノ湖のほとりには、2017年に開設された考古学公園があり、ネオリシック時代の杭上集落の一部を実物大で再現しています。2003年には、ピエモンテ州考古遺産監督局が推進した発掘調査により、約6500年前の杭上集落の痕跡が湖の水中から発見されました。この復元には、住居、倉庫、囲い付きの家畜小屋が含まれており、当時の技術と材料（構造材には栗とハシバミの木、壁には藁と粘土、屋根には湖岸の葦）を使用して建設され、日用品のレプリカ（漁具、木と緑石の斧、植物繊維の籠）で装飾されています。公園へは、モンタルト・ドーラ市の市庁舎にある展示スペースから約30分の散策でアクセスできます。そこには発掘されたオリジナルの遺物が保管されており、テーマ別のパネルで村の住民の日常生活、食生活、物質文化が再現されています。ピストーノ湖は、イヴレーアのモレーン堆積物の中に点在する5つの氷河湖の1つです。

Pier on the lake with excellent views for photos

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.

From the catwalk, we saw the catfish slowly emerging from the water and then sinking again (impressive, it can reach 2.5 meters in length and 130 kg) 29/11/25

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!

Beautiful walkway from where you can admire Lake Sirio!

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

Regardless of whether you reach the Serra di Ivrea or not, even wandering around these lakes, taking advantage of the good signage present, pays off! There is a nice variety of environments and paths, from single track to dirt road, ending on cobblestone sections, never too banal, especially in the wet... the lake environments are beautiful, given that most of these lakes are not very urbanized, the stilt houses rebuilt on the shore of Lake Pistono are very beautiful, they certainly deserve a stop. Places also suitable for children, given that in the lake area the differences in altitude are very modest... just watch out for hikers, because the paths are open to everyone!
