The Miage glacier forms a mighty trough valley on the south side of Mont Blanc and pours into the Val Veny as rubble-covered ice mass. At Rifugio Combal and Lage del Miage you can explore the outermost edges of the lateral moraine - but be careful: the terrain quickly becomes dangerously unstable and in constant motion.
Enclosed by two arms of the glacier is the Jardin de Miage, a small "paradise" where nature can unfold almost undisturbed.

If you pass the Refugio Elisabetta you will get to Ghiacciaio del Miage. A lake fed by the glacier. Depending on the season, it is full of water or almost completely empty. You can take a break here.

Small glacier lake right on the edge of the Glacier de Miage. Depending on the season, weather conditions and glacier dynamics strongly varying water level. At the same time popular destination and picnic area.
