Lago del Salto Loop and Varco Sabino Climb

Highlight • Trail

English: a 40 km tour all on the road that runs along the Salto Lake in the province of Rieti, the tour is about 30 km almost completely flat so easy for everyone even for children. The beauty of this tour is not doing it all in one go, but enjoying it calmly perhaps with the family, stopping to take photos of the lake that at every bend shows spectacular and unique views. impressive is the large Salto dam, a work of almost 100 years ago still in operation. the road is very little traffic so it is safe to travel, obviously having at least the red light on the back is absolutely recommended. along the route there are several refreshment points, starting from Borgo San Pietro, a recommended starting point because at the end of the tour you can enjoy the dishes of the excellent local cuisine, then near the dam a small kiosk bar with a splendid view, after the dam another farmhouse where you can stop then you arrive in Fiumata, a town at the opposite end to the

Salto Dam

Highlight • Monument

The Salto dam was built in the 1940s together with the nearby Turano dam (or Posticciola) to which it is connected by a nine kilometer long tunnel. The damming of the Salto river caused the formation of the homonymous lake which is today the largest artificial lake in Lazio. The beauty of the landscape and the peace that can be enjoyed from this position makes you completely forget the anthropic nature of the place.
