A wild and quiet lake surrounded by nature

The Nero lake is located in the municipality of Montalto Dora, within a natural environment characterized by woods and the rolling hills of the Ivrea morainic amphitheatre. It is a glacial lake formed during the last Ice Age, like many others in the region, creating a small and scenic body of water.

The lake takes its name from the dark color of its waters, caused by depth and the reflection of surrounding vegetation. This gives the lake a unique and slightly mysterious atmosphere, setting it apart from other lakes in Canavese.

Today, Lago Nero is a quiet and less-visited destination, ideal for those seeking peace and a deeper connection with nature. Its secluded location makes it perfect for a more intimate experience.
