Alta Valle Antrona Natural Park, Nature reserve in Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, Italy.
The natural park extends across 7,444 hectares of alpine territory, reaching elevations from 500 to 3,656 meters at the summit of Pizzo d'Andolla.
The area transformed in the early 20th century when five artificial lakes were constructed for hydroelectric purposes: Antrona, Campliccioli, Cingino, Camposecco, and Bacino dei Cavalli.
The valley maintains the tradition of 'autani' processions, ancient litanies dating from the 16th century that involve long pilgrimages through mountain paths.
Visitors can access multiple high-altitude lakes including Camposecco and Cingino through marked hiking trails, with Domodossola serving as the primary gateway city.
Female ibexes at Lake Cingino climb near-vertical dam walls to reach salt deposits, demonstrating extraordinary climbing abilities in their natural habitat.
