Rank : 9.8 (average on 4 votes)

Coordinates : 45.723189, 7.000211 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Certainly one of the most famous places in the Val d'Aosta (but I would say of all the Alps ...) for the photographic possibilities it offers:. The photo of Mont Blanc (to be precise it is the Grandes Jorasses ) that is mirrored in the lake is located on posters, postcards and in a thousand premises. In Autumn the larches and all the undergrowth surrounding the body of water are cloaked in amazing colors that are mirrored in the lake, creating endless creative possibilities for fans.

Recommended equipment : The wide-angle is certainly the king of lenses in this location, but an average canvases can give satisfaction to capture interesting details. It is worth noting the possibility, around the small upper pond (just to the right of the main invader ) to make excellent macros to the dragonflies that populate the surroundings of the body of water in the summer.

Best months : All year round, even in Winter, the lake and its surroundings offer wonderful possibilities, but the prince season is certainly Autumn, with reflections on the water.

How to get there : It starts from the Colle San Carlo, a road crossing located 2000 meters between Morgex, in the central valley of Val d'Aosta ( own motorway exit ) and La Thuile: from the parking lot next to the hotel, located just below the pass, a dirt road in light ascent leads in about an hour at the lake. It is in fact, in good season, an easy walk absolutely advisable even for families with children. In winter the road is almost always accessible, without any risk of avalanches: you just need to have the care of having a couple of crampons to put under your boots to avoid slipping on the ice.

Visits : The road is accessible to pedestrians (not cars of course) completely free of charge

Notes : From the lake a path that starts from the empathia leads, in about an hour and a half, to Lake Redstone, beautiful basin much larger and placed at 2500 meters. We are here in a very different environment from that of the lake below, more severe and without forest vegetation: the path, not difficult, is however, unlike the previous one, not to be underestimated for children.
