Worth recommending. Hike around the lake.

Walk around Lake Ceresole.
At the foot of the mighty peaks of Mt Gran Paradiso, a circular route takes you around Lake Ceresole, revealing ever-changing views of an alpine landscape filled with quiet enchantment.

Like a precious treasure, Lake Ceresole rests in the velvet embrace of the mountains, encircled by the majestic peaks of Mt Gran Paradiso. It is especially magical at dawn, when the first light of day spills over the summits like liquid amber. But no matter the time of day, a walk around the lake is always rewarding – leading you into a natural amphitheatre unlike any other. The gentle trail that encircles the crystal-clear waters reveals, step by step, a new painting of Alpine grandeur.

The air is filled with the ethereal breath of the high mountains and the delicate perfume of alpine blossoms lining the path. With each step, you sink deeper into this natural spectacle, until you reach the impressive foothills of Nel and Levanna glaciers along the Italian-French border.

At regular intervals, the view opens up to the opposite mountain flanks – their towering silhouettes mirrored perfectly in the water. A moment of awe, where silence comes naturally. Here, the true magnitude and untouched beauty of these stone giants reveal themselves.

Around the lake, you’ll find picnic areas and toilets – perfect for enjoying a quiet meal before continuing your panoramic walk. The path then leads along the western shore, past dreamy coves with silver-grey pebbles and velvety Alpine meadows.  In this pristine wilderness, with a little luck and patience, you might catch sight of graceful chamois or majestic ibexes, moving with unshakable ease along the steep cliffs. Those who wish can take a refreshing dip in the lake, glide across it by boat or kayak, or quietly cast a line, hoping for a bite from a char or a brook trout.

This tour is much more than just a hike. It’s a gentle dialogue between humankind and mountain.
