Trek to Lago Nero di Formazza: Ossola’s Bluest Lake

From the Toce Waterfall in Val Formazza, set off with the Guidders on a trekking adventure up to Lago Nero, in the Verbano-Cusio-Ossola area of Piedmont. The trail crosses alpine pastures and high-mountain terrain, then becomes steeper and rockier, with uneven sections that require sure footing and a basic level of fitness; these are only approximate indications. In return, you’ll find silence, dark water set among the mountains, and views that change at every switchback. 5 reasons - iconic start from the Toce Waterfall - a true alpine trail in Val Formazza - a high-altitude lake with raw, understated charm - a rewarding hike for those who really love the climb - a shared experience with the Guidders This hike is special because it combines one of the valley’s landmark sights with a more unusual lake, earned step by step, with the wonderful feeling of gaining altitude together with the community.
