The road to the lake, located within the Parco Nazionale del Golfo di Orosei e del Gennargentu, is 4.8 km long. It’s certainly breathtaking and it has a fearsome reputation. The surface of the road is asphalt, but pretty narrow. Drive with care as this is a mountain road with hairpin curves and dangerous dropoffs, bordered by a drop of hundreds of meters (many hundreds of feet) unprotected by guardrails.
