The Qualido lake is a small body of water located in the Val di Mello, a nature reserve in the Val Masino. It was formed in 2009 due to a landslide that blocked the Mello stream, and is surrounded by mountains and woods that are reflected on its surface creating a suggestive atmosphere.

Qualido Pond

Highlight • Lake

It is worth a visit, in winter with snow and in summer to swim in the lakes, a shame about the crowds that lately flock to these places.
