Palasinaz Lakes

The group of six alpine lakes lies at altitudes between 2,487 and 2,632 meters, surrounded by mountain peaks and grassy basins.

Roman coins discovered near the lakes indicate their potential use as natural burial sites for mining casualties in the ancient times.

The name Palasinaz originates from the patois term 'Pala', used in Aosta Valley to designate steep pastures in the region.

The lakes are accessible through a hiking trail starting from Estoul parking lot, requiring a 2-hour and 15-minute walk with 700 meters elevation gain.

The Battaglia Lake, spanning 59,940 square meters, contains underwater vegetation and fauna, while Lake Pocia measures 16,835 square meters without aquatic plants.
