Bionaz Place Moulin – Lac Mort

Your journey begins in the majestic alpine scenery that frames the Place Moulin dam forecourt, located in the municipality of Bionaz, a small jewel set in the Aosta Valley region.
Here, the fresh mountain air greets visitors with a vigorous embrace, a prelude to an adventure that will prove as fascinating as it is unforgettable.
The first leg of your journey sees you proceed along a dirt road that unravels elegantly to the left, a path that winds through unspoiled nature, inviting you to slow your pace to admire the wild beauty that surrounds you.
The lush and varied vegetation is a mosaic of colors that change with the seasons, offering an ever-changing and surprising spectacle.
Soon, the trail invites you to leave the dirt road and take, again on the left, the steep path number 7.
This choice marks the beginning of a climb that will test your determination, but also the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the quiet of the high peaks.
The trail climbs steeply, meandering between rocks and clearings where the silence is broken only by the blowing of the wind and the singing of birds.
Following the trail, the journey continues to the huts of Plan Vayun, ancient shelters that tell stories of mountain life and traditions long gone.
These simple but solid constructions bear witness to man’s ability to adapt and live in harmony with the mountain environment.
Here, it is possible to take a break, breathing deeply the pure and fresh air, refreshment for the body and spirit.
Resuming the path and continuing to the left, you will approach the Lac du Mont Rouge.
This body of water, nestled between the mountains, shines with a unique light, reflecting the surrounding peaks in a play of colors that leaves you breathless.
Its pristine beauty is an invitation to contemplate the wonders of nature in silence, in a moment of peace that seems to suspend time.
The route then winds its way to Lake des Têtes, another alpine jewel that welcomes you with its crystal clear waters.
The next stop takes you to Lago Lungo, an expanse of water that stretches gently between the peaks, a refuge for various species of alpine flora and fauna.
Finally, the journey ends at Dead Lake, the last pearl in this crown of natural wonders.
