Lake Verney is the largest natural alpine lake in the Aosta Valley. Of glacial origin, it lies at an altitude of 2,088 m, between Bec des Rousses, the promontory of the Little St. Bernard Pass, and Mount Chaz Dura. The lake's shores are colonized by hygrophilous vegetation, including prized botanical varieties such as cotton grasses, sedges, and rushes, as well as sphagnum moss, a typical peat bog species. On the sides, nature's work has left moraine deposits rich in springs, a perfect habitat for primroses and saxifrages. In ancient times, over 2,000 years ago, the Salassi people considered these waters sacred: they were used to bless fields, marriages, and children, and to propitiate a fruitful summer or a benevolent winter. When Salassi leaders returned victorious from battle, they offered the swords of their fallen adversaries to Graius, the god of war and rocks, as a sign of thanks. Today, Lake Verney is a favourite destination for many tourists as well as a fishing reserve.

A great Aosta Valley classic; the climb itself isn't particularly difficult, but be careful not to underestimate the wind that often blows strongly from France, making the 12 km from La Thuile to the pass much more challenging than the steepness suggests. The landscape is beautiful and evocative: from the iconic eight hairpin bends that allow you to leave Pré-Saint-Didier behind, you enter the cool valley that leads to La Thuile. After passing the ski resort, you quickly gain altitude with long straights, then enter the forest and conclude the climb in a vast alpine meadow.

The Col du Petit-Saint-Bernard from Bourg Saint Maurice is 26.50 km long with a total drop of 1348 m. The average gradient is 5.1% with maximum gradients of 8.1%. It's an epic climb to do in the Tarentaise Valley. It is only accessible during the summer months due to its high altitude. There are spectacular views of Mont Blanc as you ascend, then incredible views as you descend. It is believed that Hanibal used this mountain pass to cross the border into Italy.
