Alpe Devero in autumn: Crampiolo and the Witches' Lake
Guiddy Difficulty Levels
Intermediate
Description
Golden larches, a timeless village and a lake with a magic name
A hike into the enchantment of Alpe Devero, where autumn colours turn every slope red, gold and copper and the woods become a living painting. We are inside the Veglia-Devero Nature Park, one of the best-preserved alpine settings in Piedmont.
From the Devero car park we reach the picturesque village of Crampiolo, a timeless place of stone houses and silence, where in autumn all you hear is the wind in the larches. We continue to the Lago delle Streghe, the Witches' Lake, set among golden larches and clear reflections: the name comes from the tales shepherds told about these waters.
It is 11 kilometres with barely 350 metres of ascent: a route suited to everyone, which takes all the time it needs for looking. Lunch at the hut in Crampiolo.
Why come
- larch foliage in the Veglia-Devero park
- the village of Crampiolo, stone houses and silence
- the Witches' Lake and its legends
- only 350 metres of ascent: genuinely suitable for everyone
Who it suits
This is an intermediate hike for its length only: 11 kilometres with minimal height gain, on comfortable, well-marked trails. Suitable for families and beginners. Bring walking shoes, water and a jacket: at altitude in autumn the temperature drops quickly.

Guide
Davide
Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Davide, an environmental hiking guide. I believe every trail is a chance to live an adventure, discover new places and find your way back to nature and to yourself. You don't need the highest summit: you need to get out and look around. I love taking people to hidden corners, surprising views and routes off the usual list, where every step gives you something new and the day becomes something you remember. It's the part of this job that gets me up early happily. If you feel like exploring, sharing a passion for the mountains and living real days out with the Guidders, we understand each other. 🥾🌿 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
