Excursion to the Green Lake: the charming jewel of Bardonecchia

Excursion to the Green Lake of Bardonecchia

We went about an hour and twenty minutes by car and, once we arrived near the “III Alpine” hut, we started the path on foot to reach the lake. The route time is approximately 45 minutes starting from the 1790 meters of the Grange di Valle Stretta.

It should be noted that the path is not difficult and is very popular with families with children. After making a short uphill stretch, and crossing the enchanting stream on a wooden bridge, we added the green lake which, as the name suggests, is of a charming color emerald.

The waters are clear and you can appreciate, in the depths, the trunks of fallen trees. The lake is an unforgettable emerald jewel... Upon returning, after a serene morning on the shores of the green lake, we stopped at a typical mountain retreat to taste traditional cuisine.

After several typical Piedmontese tastings, we tasted an exquisite polenta: the mountain climate, in fact, invites to hot dishes. After resuming some energy, we started the descent appreciating the climbing show given by the climbers on the 'wall of the milities'.
