Lake Verney: the largest glacial lake in the Aosta Valley
Nestled at an altitude of 2,088 metres, near the Little St. Bernard Pass, you're greeted by a stunning expanse of emerald-green water spanning over 20 hectares: Lake Verney. One of the 22 lakes that shape the rugged landscape of Mont Blanc’s wild side in this part of the Aosta Valley, Lake Verney is no ordinary body of water. It is one of the largest glacial lakes, embodying the sublime and invigorating forces of nature, showcasing one of the countless wonders that only La Thuile can offer.
Surrounded by the protective embrace of the Alps, the area is steeped in a tranquillity that is fiercely preserved. Here, you'll find silence, lush greenery, fresh air and trekking routes for all levels.
From Lake Verney to Lake Tormotta, there are challenging hikes for seasoned experts, while the trail from the Little St. Bernard Pass to Lac Sans Fond offers a balanced option for those who believe in medio stat virtus.
Good news for those who simply want to take in the view in the summer: Lake Verney is accessible by car from June to October.
And for the ultimate vantage point? Head to the summit of Lancebranlette, 800 metres above Lake Verney, which can be reached in just over two hours.
