If you are looking for a panoramic hike that offers you an unusual view of the Mont Blanc massif, the ascent to Colle Licony is the right choice for you. Located at an altitude of 2673 m in Valdigne, Valle d'Aosta, this alpine pass offers a unique panorama of the Mont Blanc range and its glaciers, the Brenva, and the Grandes Jorasses. It is a perfect destination for hiking enthusiasts because from here you can admire in all its splendor the wonderful Lake Licony, one of the largest natural lakes in Valle d'Aosta, and in the distance, Grivola and Gran Paradiso. The only difficulty: the length of the route, but the beauty of the place will reward all the effort spent. Length: 20 km – Elevation gain: 1300 m. – Duration: 8h with short breaks – Difficulty E

A magnificent view of Mont Blanc, the climb reaches 16% (8°) in some parts; it is not steep for those who walk but those who use aids must evaluate in advance

Walk to a two-thousander The Tête d’Arpy (Italian: Testa d’Arpi) is – from an alpine perspective – a runt in the northern Rutor group, but at the same time its northern corner peak, which, thanks to the bend in the upper Aosta Valley, offers a completely unobstructed view into the Courmayeur basin and the Mont Blanc range. The summit ascent (along a forest road) is hardly worth mentioning, while the forest path to the beautifully situated Lac d’Arpy is a more demanding walk. If this is not challenging enough, one should definitely continue the path to the next higher lake basin around Lago di Pietra Rossa (Red Rock Lake), which lies in complete solitude.

    This is a beautiful hike, as long as the weather is not too hot, because there is a long stretch from Liconi to the lake that is steep, long and can be quite demanding in hot weather. Other than that: you begin with about 1.3 hours of flattish walk to the deserted hamlet of Liconi, where you can fill-up with water. From there it is a steep climb to the lake, with views of Grand Paradiso. You get the first glimpses of the Mont Blanc at the lake, and it only gets better.

    Prachtige route! Lago Pietra Rossa heeft een ongelooflijk mooie blauwe kleur en het uitzicht op het Mont Blanc Massief is indrukwekkend. let goed op dat de terugweg deela via een Via Ferrata is die niet erg goed is onderhouden.

    Indicazioni molto chiare, bel giro, un po’ faticoso solo nella pietraia finale, ma comunque fattibile anche senza una preparazione eccezionale
