The Lakes of Roburent

One of the “classic” hikes in the Stura Valley is definitely the Roburent Lakes Tour.

Start from the parking lot in front of the Argentera cemetery, from here take a mule track that climbs in front of the cemetery and then passes behind the church. You reach the junction on the right with the path to the Roburent Lakes, marked P41. You climb up the steep lane and facing some traverses and hairpin bends you quickly gain altitude and then descend near the Tinetta locality. From here you continue with a quieter section in the Roburent valley cutting across beautiful meadowy slopes on the midslope. Continue climbing until you contour a pasture basin, where some shepherds’ huts stand. You resume the steep climb to pass the col that allows you to reach the lower Roburent lake. Just before the lake, continue, keeping left until you reach the wide middle lake. From here, you reach the upper lake of Roburent. For the return, follow the same route.
