The route starts in Rovale (1350 m), a charming holiday destination nestled at the north-western end of Arvo lake, not far from to the tourist village of Lorica (San Giovanni in Fiore), on the Sila Grande peak. After some ups and downs, you’ll reach Ampollino lake (1282 m), near Trepidò, home to the visitor centre of the Museum of water and energy.
