Laghi Alpini in Valdossola

The alpine lakes of Ossola: water and mountains, nature and culture. A guide to visiting 295 lakes, the blue eyes of the mountains. Not scientific research, but a kibro for hikers, for men who love walking and are sensitive to the beauties of nature. Mirrors of still water on hot summer days or moved with slight ripples from spring breezes, fixed by frost in the endless winters. Natural lakes perhaps preserve the fantasies and dreams of men. Even their fears. The muddy waters of the bottom contain treasures, dreams of wealth impossible in such harsh and harsh places. Adventures of men and animals, explosions of color in the short flowering season, long winter sleeps. Alpine lakes: some are famous, many are unknown, few are unattainable. To visit them often requires long hours of walking. The pleasure of effort.
