Easy and quick start and finish. The approach from the crossroads to the lake, however, requires a little more effort even though it is all downhill. The view of the body of water is worth it anyway.

July 14, 2024,Il meraviglioso Lago di Arpy, il maestoso Cervino e il panorama da Punta della Croce

From here a challenging climb along a T2 which takes us to the Motto della Croce where a corvaccio acts as guardian. Stunning view of the Bianco and …

We start from Colle San Carlo and follow path no. 15 (more of a dirt road than a path) to reach the beautiful Arpy lake. It is an easy walk, with little slope: sometimes too “beaten”. From Arpy lake, take path …

Worse predictions than what actually happened: just a few drops when we were at the top. The highlights of today's ride were the beautiful Lago d'Arpy and the incredible fortifications dating back to the 27th century. The panorama must be exceptional on Mont Blanc but today all the highest peaks were in the clouds.
