The trail signpost, in Saint-Jacques, serves as a pivotal starting point for hikers embarking on some of the region's most renowned trails.

This clearly marked signpost offers directions to various destinations, including the popular Lago Blu and Rifugio Grand Tournalin, making it an essential reference for both seasoned trekkers and casual walkers.

Saint-Jacques itself is a charming village that provides easy access to these trails, with the signpost situated conveniently near the village center. The Alta Via 1 trail, which begins here, is celebrated for its breathtaking views of the Monte Rosa massif and the surrounding alpine landscapes. The route to Lago Blu is particularly favored for its moderate difficulty and the stunning turquoise waters of the lake, offering a serene hiking experience.
