モルジェの湖・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.

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.

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.

Lake Verney is the largest natural alpine lake in the Aosta Valley. Of glacial origin, it is located at 2,088 m above sea level, between the Bec des Rousses, the promontory of the Piccolo San Bernardo, and Mount Chaz Dura. The shores of the lake are colonized by hygrophilous vegetation that includes prized botanical varieties such as eriophilous grasses, sedges and rushes as well as sphagnum, a typical species of peat bogs. On the sides, the work of nature has left morainic deposits rich in springs, a perfect habitat for primroses and saxifrages. In a distant time, over 2,000 years ago, the Salassi people considered these waters sacred: they were used to bless the fields, unions and children, to propitiate a fruitful summer or a benevolent winter. When the Salassi leaders returned victorious from a battle, they offered the swords of their fallen adversaries to Graio, the god of war and rocks, as a sign of thanks. Today, Lake Verney is a favorite destination for many tourists as well as a fishing reserve. You can walk around its entire perimeter with a comfortable walk of about 45 minutes and by climbing further you can reach the Upper Lake Verney in about half an hour.

これは、山と氷河の息をのむようなパノラマの中心にある、かわいらしい小さな湖です。信じられないほどの場所です。ミアーゲ氷河の力強い側方氷堆がヴァル・ヴェニーからの流出を妨げているため、部分的に植生が豊かで小さな水面を持つ広大な湿地帯が形成されています。
