Easy hikes and walks around Lake Goillet

The village itself is not particularly characteristic but is undoubtedly set in a privileged natural environment. Look around to feel embraced by the valley

The construction of the parish church was completed in 1955 and the bell tower in 1957. Inside the church there are two important bas-reliefs carved in wood, from the school of Beato Angelico of Milan: on the right is the Virgin Mary with the Child, on the left is Saint Bernard, patron saint of climbers and mountain dwellers. The patron saint's festival takes place on August 15th. In front of the church you can see two bronze busts dedicated to Don Vietto and Don Sterpone, parish priest in Breuil Cervinia for 40 years.

Path to climb to Breuil-Cervina, you have the road and at the bottom you have an easy path that goes directly to Breuil-Cervina, path that was unfortunately damaged by bad weather but the municipality quickly did some work to redo the path. With a view of the Golf and if you go back up and cross the road you will find a hotel and a picnic area that overlooks a blue lake. Very pretty.

The parking lot is located along the main road, opposite a former hotel. Listed in Google Maps under "Parking lot" (GPS coordinates: 45.92403; 7.61777)

The legend of Lago Blu says that long ago, where the Blue Lake is today, there was a small house where a family of shepherds lived. One night, a poor traveler came to visit and knocked on their door, seeking food and shelter. The young shepherdess turned him away, but her son could not bear the thought of this selfish act. He tried to give the traveler his own bowl of milk, but his parents did not allow it and gave the man a bowl of dirty water instead. The parents even punished their son for going against their will and sent him out into the forest that very night to collect wood. He managed to collect a lot of wood without being attacked by wild animals, and when he returned home, he was horrified to find that his house was no longer there. A lake had swallowed him and with him his entire family. As the boy grew up and started his own family and village, they were known to be friendly, hospitable people who always welcomed strangers.

The Blue Lake (il Lago Blu), also known as Lake Layet, is located in the Breuil-Cervinia region of the Aosta Valley and lies south of the Matterhorn. It sits at almost 2,000 meters above sea level, surrounded by larches. It is not a large lake, but what makes it so special is its bright color. Supposedly, the deep blue is the merit of both the algae and mineral content, and the clarity comes from the fact that it is constantly fed by freshwater springs.
