August 15, 2023,20230815 - Salita al Lago Loie passando dalle Cascate Lillaz — Giro ad anello

Very nice and varied route. The first part is very tiring, with almost 700 meters of difference in altitude. But the effort is rewarded by the arrival at the lake and the long subsequent descent.
In addition to the very beautiful and wild panoramas, the Bardoney valley is also very beautiful.

The climb to the lake is steep but practically all in the woods. The lake is very beautiful and not very cold at least in August. From the lake you climb a little more and then go down to Bardoney where there are some farmhouses in a large meadow and a beautiful view of the valley. On the way back …

Very beautiful hike to Lago Loie and further. We did the trip counter-clockwise so you get the very steep section right at the beginning from the waterfall.

September 15, 2022,Cascata de Lillaz – Lago Loie Runde von Cogne

A varied hike on very good paths and varied nature. Sturdy shoes and good windproof clothing are an advantage. The way back is a bit longer, but not as steep. We were lucky and even saw marmots.

The tour has a tough climb, but it's more than worth it.
The Grand Paradiso National Park is on the agenda! 🏔️ 🥾

Holiday in the Aosta Valley and after a week of high-altitude touring, things were supposed to be more relaxed this Sunday.
Well... it didn't work out but it was nice.
The starting point of our tour was Lillaz in the valley of Cogne.
From here we chose a path that led us past the waterfalls and up into a high …
