This mountain lake at an altitude of 2300 meters was once a glacier.
As you approach the lake you have a wonderful view of Mont Blanc, the valley of the Great Saint Bernard and the Gran Combin.
The mountain lake of Gran San Bernardo is located at 2,447 meters above sea level, right in the heart of the Alps, which here draw the natural and political border between Italy and Switzerland.
The Col de Champillon is located at 2,709 meters above sea level in a very panoramic place. Arriving at the pass it is possible to admire the Grand Combin.
The color of the water is very special, in fact just above is the basin of the White Waters, which takes its name from the color of the melt water, especially in spring and early summer
