Rank : 9.0 (average on 2 votes)

Coordinates : 44.862221, 7.081434 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : The Vallone dei 13 lakes offers the possibility of photographing mainly mountain landscapes but also local flora and fauna. For fans of historical-military testimonies there are two shelters dedicated to Giuseppe Domenico Perrucchetti (considered the father of the military body of the Alpini), some abandoned barracks, the old military routes that go up the slopes of the valley and near the lake Ramella are located still two cannon barrels.The lakes still visible are eleven or twelve depending on the season and are: the Black Lake, the White Lake, the Drajo Lake, the Lake of Man, the Twin Lakes, the Primo Lake, the Lake Along, the Lago Ramella (or Lago dei Cannoni), the Green Lakes and the Lago della Noce that is formed only during the period of the thaw. The thirteenth is the Lake of Carrot which is now completely underground.

Recommended equipment : definitely recommend to take a wide angle for landscape photos, a nice telephoto lens to capture distant glimpses far away to reach or some animal (if you're lucky) and for lovers of flower photos a nice macro is fine.

Best months : the summer period is the best for excursions in the valley and surroundings

How to get there : From Turin take the A55 to Pinerolo, from here continue on the SP23R to Perosa Argentina where you will meet the signs for Prali. Going back to the Germanasca Valley, once you reach Prali, continue along the Ghigo hamlet, following the state road up to the large parking lot in front of the chair lift. From here you can decide whether to climb with a nice walk or if you are to be brought to an altitude of 2400 m from the chairlift.

Visits : To pay there is only the ticket for the two sections of the chairlift.
