Nuances Before Sunset
The Nivolet plateau is notoriously famous for being an earthly paradise. Indeed a paradise both in name (it is included in the Gran Paradiso National Park) and in fact, being a location that once visited indelibly holds a place in everyone's heart.
In summer the area is quite accessible, also because it is well served by a road which, starting from the 1,580 meters of Ceresole Reale, climbs up for 18 km till to Colle del Nivolet, at 2,612 metres of altitude, on the watershed between the Valle dell'Orco and Valsavarenche.
Needless to say, however, that the real magic occurs when the entire panorama is still in the grip of ice and snow, which greatly complicates the access to the alpine lakes, but undoubtedly allows to enjoy a rarer and more pristine sight.
Photo taken at sunset on the shores of Lake Rosset (2,701 meters).
Respectively from left to right it is possible to admire: Gran Paradiso, Tresenta, Ciarforon, Becca del Monciair, Denti del Broglio and Grand Etret.
