Mandatory passage for the Valle de Clavaritè from Fenils...

watch out for bumps in the asphalt caused by roots

This stretch of cycle path that runs along a stretch of river (Dora Baltea) is very special.

Be careful, after flooding some parts are still destroyed

The legend of Lago Blu says that long ago, where the Blue Lake is today, there was a small house where a family of shepherds lived. One night, a poor traveler came to visit and knocked on their door, seeking food and shelter. The young shepherdess turned him away, but her son could not bear the thought of this selfish act. He tried to give the traveler his own bowl of milk, but his parents did not allow it and gave the man a bowl of dirty water instead. The parents even punished their son for going against their will and sent him out into the forest that very night to collect wood. He managed to collect a lot of wood without being attacked by wild animals, and when he returned home, he was horrified to find that his house was no longer there. A lake had swallowed him and with him his entire family. As the boy grew up and started his own family and village, they were known to be friendly, hospitable people who always welcomed strangers.

The Blue Lake (il Lago Blu), also known as Lake Layet, is located in the Breuil-Cervinia region of the Aosta Valley and lies south of the Matterhorn. It sits at almost 2,000 meters above sea level, surrounded by larches. It is not a large lake, but what makes it so special is its bright color. Supposedly, the deep blue is the merit of both the algae and mineral content, and the clarity comes from the fact that it is constantly fed by freshwater springs.

Nice stretch of cycle path

The first historical document that mentions the parish of Verrayes is a Bull of Pope Lucius III dated 7 May 1187, which lists the parishes dependent on the collegiate church of Sant'Orso in Aosta. The current church of Verrayes was built at the end of the century. XIX. On the walls of the bell tower you can see traces of the ancient church. It was a very low building with three naves divided by large masonry pillars. The main nave was covered with cross vaults divided by protruding ribs. This church was demolished in 1873 and was replaced by the current church, whose design was by the architect Lancia. In 1877 the building was finished and was consecrated by Mons. Duc on 11 November 1887.
