Lake Serrù

Highlight • Lake

It is located along the road that from Ceresole Reale climbs to the Nivolet hill. It is part of the complex of artificial lakes (Lake Agnel, Lake Serrù, Lake Ceresole, Lake Teleccio, Lake d'Eugio and Lake Valsoera) and which feed various hydroelectric plants. The Pian della Ballotta refuge rises on a rocky spur above the lake. (Wikipedia)

But be careful when you arrive here it's not over, there are the last 7 km to do to get to the Nivolet hill ...

Highlight • Viewpoint

Magnificent pass in the Gran Paradiso National Park. Fantastic mountains between Piedmont and the Aosta Valley. The pass can only be accessed by road from the south side (Piedmont).
Sweeping little SP50 with great views.

Rifugio Savoia

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Rifugio Savoia is located at an altitude of 2,534 meters on the picturesque Nivolet plateau, right in the heart of the Gran Paradiso National Park. Born from the renovation of a historic hunting lodge of King Vittorio Emanuele II dating back to 1860, today it offers 40 beds and a welcoming kitchen with typical dishes of the Aosta Valley tradition.

Trebecchi Lakes

Highlight • Lake

In the beautiful plateau above the Colle del Nivolet there is a plethora of fantastic alpine lakes Rosset Lake, Leytà Lake and, although smaller, no less beautiful the Trebecchi Lakes.
Going up to the Leynir hill the view flows over all the lakes with suggestive landscapes

Rifugio Città di Chivasso (currently closed)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Città di Chivasso Refuge is located a little higher than the Savoia Refuge. From here you can enjoy a truly remarkable view of the Nivolet lakes.

Colle del Nivolet

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Leave performance anxiety aside and take a few stops to enjoy the surrounding panorama: the Colle del Nivolet is one of the most panoramic climbs in the Alps. The final hairpin bends overlooking the lakes are truly special.
