Lago Bianco is a small Alpine lake located at 2,332 metres above sealevel in Val Vogna, a side valley of Valsesia in the Province of Vercelli of north-west Italy.

The lake is positioned on the course of access to two mountains which are popular destinations for expert Alpinists: Corno Rosso (2,738 m) and Corno Bianco (3,320 m).

The road of the Val Vogna terminates at Sant’Antonio, a frazione of Riva Valdobbia. From here it is some two and a half hours of walking along the path marked by CAI as number 2 to reach the lake
