삼파이어‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Beautiful and famous lake easily reachable from Pian del Re and Regina.

The first structure of the Pian del Re refuge hotel was built by the Municipality of Crissolo in 1874 to accommodate mountaineers intent on climbing the Normal route of Monviso. In 1909 it became privately owned and management passed to the Perotti family, a historic dynasty of mountain guides of Monviso. Numerous paths start from here, both for day trips and for multi-day treks, such as the Giro del Monviso, or mountaineering itineraries, including the Normal route of Monviso. The refuge is open every day from the beginning of June to the end of September and offers 30 beds, in addition to a bar and restaurant service.

Iconic point of passage to go up to Pian del Re, ideal for a stop with refreshment in the extraordinary Alpine scenery of Monviso.

At this point you are almost at the top. Take a picture and then make the last stretch of climb.

The charm of seeing the lake reflected in the water, encounters with (protected) salamanders, be careful not to step on them

Very suggestive lake, to be admired at various times of the day

Departure from the sanctuary of Sant'Anna. 2h and 20 to get up, walking with a calm step. I recommend taking the left fork on the outward journey (less steep) and going down the steepest path on the way back. Immediately below the village of Sant'Anna there is a highly recommended hotel restaurant. Delicious aperitif, magnificent view and super welcome!

Beautiful walk from Pian della Regina to the sources of the Po. I recommend it to families with children. Once you arrive at the Springs there is the Rifugio del Pian del Re and a large space where you can spend a few hours having a picnic
