Nivolet is a splendid plateau of peat bogs and wet areas at a height of 2500 metres, designed by the ebb and flow of river Dora.
It is the habitat of ibex, chamois, marmots, ermines, foxes, migratory and non-migratory birds, and rare species of flowers.
It can be reached on foot along the comfortable paths of Valsavarenche and by car from Ceresole Reale.
Always a site for cyclists and excursionists, in recent years – especially in summer Sundays - Nivolet has increasingly turned into a large parking lot in the heights.
As an alternative to this use, which is not compatible with the objectives of a Park, a project has been started that, besides regulating traffic, envisages the enhancement of the whole area by means of quality tourist projects.
In July and August, all Sundays and on the bank holiday of the 15 August, the last six kilometres of the road are not accessible by private cars.
It is possible to go on foot, by bike or on the shuttle bus. Without the air and noise pollution generated by cars, these areas are a real paradise, with landscapes, perfumes and colours that have nothing less than exotic destinations. It is possible to drive with a private car up to Lake Serrù, or use the shuttle bus departing from Ceresole Reale, with many stops along the route.
