ラトゥイールの湖・トップ20

Steep and rugged climb. On the way back, follow the ski slope to the left. The descent is steep, but on soft, level terrain.

A marvel.

Until about ten years ago the lake was much bigger and really beautiful, last year I saw it again and it left me a little disappointed. However, if you have never been there I recommend a visit!

Very simple and relaxing route through the woods to this splendid lake. If you want to visit it in peace, avoid midday hours, especially in summer

Lake Arpy is located at 2,066 meters above sea level. It is located in a splendid valley and enclosed between Mount Charvel and Becca Pouegnenta to the left of Mount Colmet. The lake has shades of color ranging from brown to light blue to green. In its waters there are trout and a rare species of amphibian, the Alpine newt.

On this link you will find all the information on the Deffeyes Refuge http://www.rifugiodeffeyes.it/

The Alberto Deffeyes refuge is a refuge located in the municipality of La Thuile (AO), in the La Thuile valley, in the Graian Alps, at 2,500 meters above sea level. It was built in 1953 and dedicated to Albert Deffeyes. It is located at the foot of the Testa del Rutor peak and the Rutor glacier in a basin particularly rich in alpine lakes. It is a stopping point of the Alta Via della Valle d'Aosta n. 2. It also offers the possibility of climbing almost overlooking the adjacent lake with various routes from grade 5c to 7a.

This is a lovely little lake, in the heart of a breathtaking panorama of mountains and glaciers. An incredible place. The powerful lateral moraine of the Miage glacier obstructs the outflow from Val Veny, so a large marshy area has formed, partly rich in vegetation and with small water surfaces. Running on this path shared by the Tour of Mont Blanc and the Alta Via 2 of the Aosta Valley is extraordinary: not very technical, not excessively steep and with stunning views.
