Lac de Nino, Glacial lake in Haute-Corse, France.

Located at 1,743 meters elevation, Lac de Nino extends over 0.065 square kilometers with a maximum depth of 12 meters.

The lake formed during past glacial periods, when ice sheets carved out the mountain basin between the communes of Casamaccioli and Corte.

Local shepherds have maintained traditions of seasonal grazing around the lake's meadows, where wild horses roam among the characteristic pozzines.

The lake connects to multiple hiking trails including the GR20 long-distance path, with access from the Vergio mountain pass via Bocca a Reta.

The lake sits among grass squares fractured by water holes called pozzines, creating a checkerboard pattern in the surrounding alpine meadows.
