Valtournenche – Ghiacciaio di Valtournenche e Lago Goillet Hike

This stunning full-day hike originates from Valtournenche (a short bus ride or drive from Cervinia) and leads towards the majestic Valtournenche Glacier and the turquoise Lago Goillet, an artificial lake used for hydroelectric power, but strikingly beautiful. The trail offers diverse scenery, from lush pastures to rocky, high-alpine terrain, with continuous views of the Matterhorn and surrounding peaks. It's classified as moderately challenging (red trail marking) due to its length and elevation gain. A good level of fitness is required. Allow 5-7 hours round trip.
