Lago Cecita

Calabria

This artificial lake sits at the heart of the Sila Grande plateau, its shoreline threaded with trails through towering Pinus laricio, the endemic Calabrian pine prized for its long, straight trunks. Winter brings snow to the surrounding plateau, and the lake occasionally freezes at the edges. It's a favourite base for cross-country skiing in the nearby Camigliatello Silano area during winter.
