Lake Revelli is a small alpine lake located at 2,029 m a.s.l.[1] in the Ligurian Alps, in the municipality of Ormea. It is situated in the upper valley of the Corsaglia [it], just north of the Cima delle Roccate [it].

Description

[edit]
The lake’s basin with the Cavarero bivouac

The water body is located in Val Corsaglia [it] at 2,029 m elevation, at the head of the valley. It lies within a basin surrounded by various peaks ranging in height between 2,300 and 2,500 meters. Not far from the lake are a marshy area[2] and the Rocca della Sella (2,040 m), northeast of the water body. Its outflow is the Rio Revelli, the main source stream of the Corsaglia.[1] To the south of the lake basin runs the mountain ridge that separates Val Corsaglia from the Alta Val Tanaro [it], particularly the section of the watershed that includes the Monte Rotondo, the Bric di Conoia, the Cima delle Roccate [it], and the distinctive Pizzo d’Ormea [it].[3]

The small basin hosts marshy vegetation dominated by Carex fusca.[2]

Near the lake is the Bivacco Franco Cavarero [it], dedicated to an alpinist from Mondovì who died in 1963 near the Mondolè [it][4]

Geology

[edit]

The basin hosting the lake was carved by the ancient glacier that traversed Val Corsaglia.[2] The depression is formed by besimaudites,[5] rocks with a porphyritic structure typical of the mountains of southwestern Piedmont.[6]

Hiking

[edit]

The lake can be reached by trail from Ponte Murao near Bossea [it], in Val Corsaglia, following the valley floor, or from the Val Tanaro, passing through the Colla del Pizzo or the Bocchino dell’Aseo [it].[4]
