Other details

     

by car: 1 hour and 30

​

Departure on foot from Montalto Dora - taking via Casana next to the Town Hall. Reached Lake Pistorno with beautiful views of the Montalto Dora Castle we continued on the path to Lake Sirio where you can choose between various ring routes around the lakes.

Particular and fun is the place called Terre ballerine where a layer of peat rests on a surface of water: by jumping you have the effect of the trampoline thus causing the movement of the adjacent trees.

Lunch at the Venus pizza restaurant in Montalto with little choice but good quality and very cheap.
