Ventasso Laghi Ski Resort Live Cam

Geological Foundations and Formation

The Ventasso Laghi area, situated within the Appennino Tosco-Emiliano National Park in the province of Reggio Emilia, owes its striking topography to millions of years of geological processes. Characterized by dolomitic limestone formations and Permo-Triassic sandstone deposits, these hills and basins reveal alternating layers of carbonate and clastic sediments. The lakes—Lago Calamone, Lago Cerreto, and Lago Paduli—occupy ancient karstic depressions shaped by subterranean water erosion during the Late Triassic, around 230 million years ago.
