An artificial lake built in the late 1970s, with two dams, used for the production of electricity. It is really beautiful, enclosed by mountains with the Genova refuge clearly visible in the distance.

July 9, 2025,lago della Rovina bacino del Ciotas e ritorno

Beautiful hike starting from Lake Rovina along a mule track.
Arrival at the Lake Chiotas dam and return via the old Enel road, which unfortunately has collapsed in many places.
Doable, however, with a little caution.
Beautiful open views of the two lakes.
If desired, you can continue to the Genova refuge and then to another natural lake.
