Rifugio Genova, municipality of Entracque

Lago del Chiotas is an artificial basin, created between the seventies and early nineteen-eighties by constructing two dams called of Chiotas and of Colle Laura in the area of the old Piano del Chiotas, on the eastern side of the Argentera Range. The over 1,000 m altitude gap with the Lago della Piastra below is used to produce electric power. On the southern bank of the lake rises the new Rifugio Genova-Figari, created in replacement of the refuge with the same name that was submerged after the basin was created.
