“Nice side trip from the TMB”

Jul 2021

We were hiking the TMB and, after lunch at Cabane du Combal, decided to take a side trip up to see Lago del Miage. It was about a 10 minute walk up from the Cabane until we found the lake, as well as nearby glacial moraine. We enjoyed exploring and taking photos for a few minutes before heading back down. This isn't a must-see, but given we were in the area and had some time, it was an enjoyable stop with some pretty scenery.

“Unimpressive lake”

Jul 2019

We visited on a partly cloudy day. The lakes were unimpressive and the glacial moraines are a dirty blackish gray. We took the bus from Courmayeur to La Visaille and walked 50 minutes from there. Unless you are doing this route as part of the TMB, a trip just to see these little glacial lakes is not really worth it from the visual perspective.

Great walk and beautiful lake

Aug 2023 • Couples

After a beautiful, not too tiring walk we were struck by the beauty of this heart-shaped lake even if the level is unfortunately low and the glaciers around it are now almost non-existent...

Easy walk but with good elevation gain

Aug 2024 • Couples

A nice walk of about 1 hour and a half. Easy, almost entirely asphalted but with a steep slope. From the refuge onwards to the lake the route is rough and unmarked. The lake is small but picturesque for forma.di cuore.

Heart-shaped lake

Jul 2024 • Couples

Path difficulty E . For good walkers an hour uphill and 40 minutes downhill.
Pretty much all in the sun. I recommend hat and sunscreen.
As soon as you get to the refuge, a steep pavement starts and you arrive at the first heart-shaped lake. Just over two lakes that welcome the glacier.
A spectacle of nature.

Cute, not very easy to find

Oct 2023 • Friends

Intrigued by the reviews we decided to visit this lake. Starting from the fact that the weather was not kind, it was raining and windy. I personally didn't like the road, it was almost entirely asphalted and still uphill (in the description it was written suitable for strollers, congratulations to the brave ones 😅), when you arrive at Lake Combal the landscape is wonderful, the autumn colors hinted a lot beauty. The refuge was obviously closed in the low season, but we continued on to Lake Miage. The signage from the refuge onwards is almost non-existent, we found it purely and thanks to Google Maps. I expected it to be much nicer. Cute, but probably years ago it was majestic.
