아르비에‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

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

Magnificent panorama over the entire Mont Blanc chain and La Thuille. Near the cross there are only the remains of ancient fortifications that dominated the valley

Punta della Croce is a place that you cannot miss for the vast panorama that can be enjoyed from the top (2,432 meters above sea level). From here the view of Mont Blanc is truly incredible!

There is a legend that hovers around the Rutor glacier which tells that the place now occupied by the glacier was once a large green meadow where the cows of a rich farmer grazed. One day God wanted to test his goodness and sent him a beggar to ask for some milk to feed his family. The rich farmer, instead of giving him some of his milk, mocked the beggar and, out of insult, ordered his workers to pour the buckets of fresh milk on the lawn. The beggar reacted by casting a curse on him that made it snow for days on end. Accompanying the snow was also a very cold wind which caused the green pastures to turn into ice. Thus the Rutor glacier was born.

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.

The first waterfall is the easiest to reach and is located about 20 minutes from the start. Although it is the easiest to reach, you need to be careful because, being wet, you could slip, so remember suitable shoes and be careful.

The three Rutor waterfalls are part of the country's history and are shrouded in myths and legends. Daughters of the lakes fed by the Rutor glacier, the wonderful waterfalls that can be visited in summer are three impetuous waterfalls that throw themselves into gorges and precipices, carving out the rock with all the power of the melting water. Starting from the hamlet of La Joux at 1,603 meters above sea level and located just three kilometers from the town of La Thuile, you can reach the first of the three with a beautiful path up to the third waterfall which is located at 1,996 metres. The first observation point is found shortly after passing the farmhouses of La Joux, along a mule track that passes through coniferous woods. The first waterfall is surprising: the emotion of the rainbow and the force of the water arouse incredible sensations.

Nice tour starting from La Thuile
