Embark on the Tour of the Lakes Trail, a moderate hike that takes you through the stunning alpine landscapes of Parco Naturale del Mont Avic. You will ascend through fragrant larch forests, which gradually give way to expansive alpine pastures, offering a true sense of mountain immersion. The route covers 4.2 miles (6.8 km) and involves a significant climb of 1990 feet (606 metres), typically taking around 3 hours and 36 minutes to complete. A highlight of your journey is Lago Muffè, a picturesque lake where you can pause and enjoy the serene surroundings. As you continue, you will experience panoramic views from Colle du Lac Blanc, looking out towards the impressive Monte Rosa group and Cervino.
To begin your adventure, access the trail from Champorcher, where you will find convenient parking available near the starting point. We recommend wearing appropriate footwear, as some rocky sections of the path can become slippery, especially after rainfall. This preparation will ensure a more comfortable and secure hiking experience on the varied terrain. Plan your visit to allow ample time to enjoy the natural beauty and the refreshment point at Lago Muffè.
This trail is a fantastic way to explore the rich natural environment of the Aosta Valley, showcasing a constellation of glacial lakes that define the region's unique geology. The presence of Rifugio Barbustel along the route offers a welcoming stop, providing traditional Valdostan cuisine and the option for an overnight stay. The area's distinct alpine ecosystem, with its larch forests and high-altitude pastures, makes this route a notable experience within the Mont Avic Natural Park.
