Aosta-Pila

Once there, one of the easiest walks is the one that leads to Lake Chamolé, at an altitude of 2311 metres. There are two options: either take path 14 from Pila to reach the lake in an hour and a half, or take path 19c and reach your destination with the Chamolé chairlift, which is equipped to carry bicycles (ticket cost €11 return; €8 for children under 14 and free for children under 8) pila.it/corse-singole. When you get off the chairlift, just follow the signs to find the right path. At the foot of Mario Stuffer's Christ, a bronze copy of the original, follow the path which leads to Lake Chamolé in about ten minutes. The path is flat and suitable for everyone. When you get to the lake, you can take a break, perhaps with a packed lunch prepared by one of the restaurants in Pila or by the Bar of the Chamolé chairlift; or if you want to continue - once you have recovered your strength with a short break - another hour's walk will take you to the Arbolle refuge, where you can have lunch, and from where you can admire the lake of the same name. Reservations are required for both lunch and overnight stays.
