Top 20 Lakes around Sagliano Micca

artificial lake once infested with abandoned turtles and now finally reclaimed

Small lake under Mount Camino. Very rich in frogs and tadpoles. Some information: The Camino lake is located south of Mount Camino, between Colle della Barma and La Ceva. The environment in which it is located is of glacial origin, characterized by small overexcavation basins between the humps of the smooth rocks. The glacial imprint can be traced back to the various Pleistocene glacial impulses and in particular to the last impulse and subsequent regression. The landscape modeled by glacial activity was then taken up and modified in detail by the erosion of the runoff waters, by the cryoclastic action that splits and crumbles the rocks and by the nivation processes. The lake is in an advanced evolutionary phase with shallow waters and boulders on the bottom, it is partly bordered by vegetation, it is enriched with sediments and is destined to become a peat bog and then to be completely buried.

Very modern and comfortable refuge. Equipped with 24h electricity, wi-fi, hot water. The refuge is also a stop for the Oropa Valley walk. The Barma refuge is located at an altitude of 2060 meters in the Mont Mars nature reserve, located between the Biella area and the Lys Valley in the Aosta Valley. The stone structure is built around the roche moutonne in the center of an amphitheater overlooking the lakes of the same name at the foot of the Mont Mars massif (2600 m). The refuge is recently built and has a large bar, two dining rooms, eight rooms, five of which seat 8, two seat 4 and a double with bathroom. The services are shared. The structure is equipped with solar panels for the production of electricity, integrated with a co-generator system. The water is collected from the depths of the lake and treated with a water purifier so as to avoid the use of packaging to be disposed of.

The Rifugio Lago della Vecchia is located in the Biella Alps, at 1,872 meters above sea level, near the lake of the same name. It offers typical Piedmontese cuisine and the possibility of overnight stays with 22 beds. It opens in the summer season but for more information, visit the website: rifugiolagodellavecchia.it

recently cleared of an infestation of American tortoises caused by the abandonment of these animals

pond recently reclaimed from the invasion of dangerous turtles once considered as "home aquarium animals". The abandonment over the years of these reptiles, which in some cases have become enormous, has been a cause of danger for people and animals.

Recently built refuge surrounded by the Barma lakes, open in the summer and reachable with a not too demanding walk from Pillaz (or from Pian Coumarial) a hamlet of Fontainemore, overcoming a long stretch of road up to Lake Vargno

This beautiful lake is located at the foot of the Mont Mars Nature Reserve.
