Lake Palù is an alpine lake in Valmalenco, in the province of Sondrio, Northern Italy, at 1,925 m above sea level. It is located on a plateau surrounded by pine forests, north of the town of Chiesa in Valmalenco and south of Mount Sasso Nero. The lake is surrounded by imposing peaks and its basin derives from glacial excavation processes. The body of water, elongated from north to south, is one of the largest lakes in Valmalenco. In winter you can take advantage of the frozen surface to cross it from north to south.
