    These beautiful lakes are located at the foot of the now extinct Vulture volcano. The beauty of this place has earned it the nickname of "Switzerland of Basilicata". The lakes are located within the Vulture Regional Nature Reserve.

    Lago Grande and Lago Piccolo lie, at about 650 meters above sea level, on the crater of Monte Vulture, an extinct volcano. Their greenish waters, separated by a thin line of land, are surrounded by lush forests of beech and oak.
