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.

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!

In early April in Cervinia you can run on the snow at 2000 meters in complete safety.
