The largest of the artificial lakes in the Val d'Ultimo. Along the lake there is the traditional sheep market which takes place after the transhumance. Fun fact: under the lake lie 12 masi (mountain houses) which were flooded during the construction of the hydroelectric plant and the simultaneous creation of the artificial lake.
