Lake Monastero is a fascinating body of water in the Lanzo valleys, in the municipality of Cantoira. It is easily reachable via a wide dirt road that passes through the Forchetta hill, but there are also shorter paths that cut across the route, all of which can be easily covered by running. Getting here almost always means facing a rather challenging climb, but in a suggestive environment with a view of the Val Grande and the Levanne. To the north-west, the path follows a half-coast, so it is rather flat, on the slope of the La Rossa peak.
