Ceresole Reale

Province of Torino, Piemonte (Piedmont-Piemont) Region, Italy

The Locality: Near the border with the Valle d'Aosta, in the Gran Paradiso National Park, Ceresole rises near banks of a long artificial lake, formed by the Orco River. It is a wonderful summer tourist resort thanks to the high mountain air, and the important natural features of the park. The name Reale (= Royal) was added in 1862 by king of Italy Vittorio Emanuele II, as a reward for the hunting rights he had received from the villagers.

INFO: Altitude: 1620 m a.s.l -- Population: about 200 inhabitants
