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

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!

in my opinion with the right lights of the day the Black lake is the most suggestive of all the 5 lakes in this unique part of Canavese PHT

An easy climb that rewards you with a view of the lake and its dam. Pay attention to cars, the road is not very wide in some places.
