The right orographic side of Valle d’Aosta is the one from which you can admire fantastic landscapes of the most beautiful valleys of the region, such as Valle di Cogne, Valsavarenche, Val di Rhemes, Valgrisenche. Furthermore, during the winter, this part of Valle d’Aosta, exposed to the south, receives a lot of sunlight.

In this part of Valle d’Aosta Lago di Joux is located. This is a little lake at 2000 meters of altitude. From this site, with a very short walk, you can reach Col du Mont Joux which is the natural gateway to the awesome Vallone di Vertosan.

So, if you want to spend a few relaxing days, you cannot miss visiting Lago di Joux immersed in a wonderful environment characterized by pine forests and meadows.

You can leave your car in the parking of the small hamlet called Vens (1730 meters of altitude) and from here, along a short path, you can easily reach Lago di Joux. Walking on this path you can see a stunning landscape, especially on Grivola and Gran Paradiso. The first one is 3969 meters high and the second one is 4061 meters high.

Below you can see some pictures of Grivola and Gran Paradiso, taken from the path that leads to Lago di Joux. These two mountains belong to Parco Nazionale del Gran Paradiso (National park of Gran Paradiso) and they have wonderful glaciers.

During the day BBofItaly went on his excursion, the weather was unbelievable, with clouds drawing fantastic and different shapes in the sky above the Grivola mountain.
