Lago di San Grato
Aosta Valley
Lago di San Grato sits on a quiet shelf above the Cogne valley, small and easily reached, but rewarding for the near-perfect reflection of the Grivola's sharp pyramid it offers on calm days. The approach passes through larch woods and open hay meadows still cut by hand by local farmers each summer. A small chapel dedicated to San Grato, patron saint invoked against storms and frost, sits beside the water.
