The larger of the two Avigliana lakes sits in a regional nature park at the mouth of the Susa Valley, beneath the dramatic Sacra di San Michele abbey. A grass lido with a gentle bathing shore makes this the closest proper lake swim to Turin, framed by reed beds, wooded hills and walking and cycling paths around the lake.
