An artificial basin inside the Stelvio National Park, in whose waters sky and mountains are reflected.
A circular route with fascinating panoramic views that runs along Lake Pian Palù, an artificial basin with emerald-colored water created for hydroelectric purposes in the 1950s and that leads to the discovery of spectacular five-century-old larches. The route is also suitable for children (however, we recommend using a backpack or carrier and not a stroller!).
Rules for mountain walks:
The Pian Palù lake is an artificial lake at whose eastern end there is the dam barrier. The recommended route goes around the lake clockwise: you immediately pass through a short tunnel and then the path continues flat through the vegetation. Alternatively, you can approach the shore by crossing the scree (also excellent for stopping to rest or to skip stones in the water… there is also a charming rocky islet that makes everything very picturesque). On your left you will see numerous small streams of water, some large enough to form small waterfalls.
You can reach Peio Fonti by public transport with the Trentino Trasporti bus MALE' - MEZZANA - FUCINE - COGOLO - PEIO.
Follow the SS42 and at the height of the town of Ossana, turn right onto the SP87 until you reach Peio Fonti. From here, it is possible to reach the locality of Fontanino by car in 10 minutes.
