Lake d'Arpy & Pietra Rossa - Mont Blanc Series (Aosta Valley, Italy)

Lake d'Arpy

Lago d’Arpy is a lake of glacial origin located in the Vallon d’Arpy, near the eponymous col. Lago d’Arpy, surrounded by Mont Charvet, Becca Pugnenta and Mont Cormet, offers a spectacular view of the Grandes Jorasses, which, when the water is calm in the morning, is reflected in the clear waters of the lake. Very popular with the inhabitants of the Aosta Valley, Lago d’Arpy is a beautiful and unforgettable family hike that will delight young and old.

 

Lake Pietra Rossa

Located in the heart of the Aosta Valley, Lago Pietra Rossa culminates at 2553 meters above sea level at the end of the Vallon d’Arpy. Stuck between Becca Pugnenta in the northeast and Mont Cormet in the southwest, the lake remains an exceptional site thanks to the grandeur of the scene offered on the south face of the Chaine du Mont-Blanc, notably the Dent du Géant and The Grandes Jorasses. The first part of the ascent shares the same path that of Lago d’Arpy.
