Lac du Miage

Lake Courmayeur, Aosta Valley, Italy

What to expect

Lac du Miage, located in the Aosta Valley, Italy, is a small alpine lake surrounded by lush green meadows and towering snow-capped peaks. The lake is formed by the melting waters of the Miage Glacier and offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Visitors can hike to the lake via several trails, including a moderately challenging 0.7-mile out-and-back trail that takes around 24 minutes to complete. The lake's waters are crystal-clear, and the surrounding scenery is breathtaking, making it a great spot for picnics and photography. The area is also suitable for birding, hiking, and running, and dogs are welcome. The best time to visit is during the summer months when the weather is mild and the hiking trails are easily accessible
