Located in the Val d’Aosta near Courmayeur, Lake Licony is one of the largest natural lakes in the region. Nestling in a basin, the changing colours in the sunlight transform Lake Licony into a veritable jewel. The route I propose continues to the Col de Licony, which offers a magnificent view of the whole lake on one side and the Val Sapin on the other<\/a>. From here, hikers can admire the whole of the Mont Blanc massif.
\nAlthough the route presents no technical difficulties, it is classified as “Difficult”. Even if the positive elevation gain doesn’t seem so great at first glance, the round trip distance is considerable (17.5 km) and requires good training. What’s more, the climb up to the pass just before Lake Licony is very steep and requires a very sustained effort.<\/span>
