Fitness level
In the municipality of Morgex, above the Colle San Carlo, Lac d'Arpy is one of the Aosta Valley's most famous panoramic lakes. From Costablinaz, waymark no. 14 rises gently through firs and pastures to the lake basin (2,071 m), facing the entire Mont Blanc range: on clear days the face and glaciers mirror in the water, especially at dawn. The route suits families and anyone after a great view with modest ascent; from the lake, extensions lead to the Pietra Rossa lakes and surrounding passes. Best from June to October.
