부르 생 모리스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 호수

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

Excellent welcome, with meal, coffee and dessert. Magnificent view of the peaks to the south: Pierra Menta, Roc de la Charbonnière, Pointe de Cerdosse, Mont Rosset.

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!

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.

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.

Lake Chécrouit is a small mountain lake located in the Val Veny at an altitude of 2,165 meters. On clear days, the majestic glaciers clinging to the rock spiers are reflected in this small body of water. A truly extraordinary show!

Lac Chécrouit and Lac des Vesses On the route of the Tour du Mont Bianc, a section in Italy, one encounters the alpine lakes Lac Chécrouit and Lac des Vesses. Located in the Val Veny, these two lakes offer a breathtaking view of the southern slope of the Mont Blanc massif and its numerous glaciers. In winter, the lakes are frozen and covered in snow, in summer they are filled with tadpoles and large frogs. Definitely a perfect spot of refreshment for hikers attempting the TMB before descending towards Courmayeur.

It's worth making a detour to see this gorgeously colored pond
