Lago Blu

Highlight • Lake

The Blue Lake (il Lago Blu), also known as Lake Layet, is located in the Breuil-Cervinia region of the Aosta Valley and lies south of the Matterhorn. It sits at almost 2,000 meters above sea level, surrounded by larches. It is not a large lake, but what makes it so special is its bright color. Supposedly, the deep blue is the merit of both the algae and mineral content, and the clarity comes from the fact that it is constantly fed by freshwater springs.

Arrived in winter with snow up to your knees (detour from the Blue Lake)... Excellent stop for a lunch or dinner while enjoying the best recipes of the typical Aosta Valley cuisine, gazing from the Grandes Murailles to the majestic Matterhorn which is reflected in the waters of the Blue Lake: this is what the Alpage Restaurant offers you, presenting its special menu based on typical recipes prepared with care and love for tradition.

Breuil-Cervinia Village

Highlight • Settlement

As soon as you arrive in the small tourist town, you are greeted with, among other things, a beautiful panorama. The beautiful place encourages a relaxing visit.

If you want to take the cable car up to the Klein Matterhorn and are looking for free parking, you will find it a little above the town, in the immediate vicinity of the cable car station.

Cervinia Village and View of the Matterhorn

Highlight • Settlement

Cervinia is located under the imposing south face of the Matterhorn. This country offers all the services and entertainment for an active holiday. Near the center is a replica of the Matterhorn summit cross. If you cultivate the dream of reaching the top of the Giant, I advise you not to touch this cross, as it could bring you bad luck - so they say!
