Blue Lake Hut Plans Verra and Ferraro
plans Verra Upper and Lower represent two extensive and beautiful plains, through which the torrent will be very popular and in summer and for the convenience of access, both for the beauty of the landscape and the magnificent views on offer throughout the upper basin of the Verra glacier, from the Western Breithorn Castor. The route can be route even in winter with snowshoes along the road running from Saint Jacques or summer following the path that will shorten the route. Access: Autostrada della Valle d'Aosta with exit Verres, climb up the valley to Saint Jaques (last country) Departure: Saint Jacques (m.1689) Gradient: m.361 Plan Verra Lower Blue Lake m.526 Rise Time: 1:30 hours Plan Verra Less than 0:45 hours at the Blue Lake Difficulty: MR
Map: IGM F.29 Saint Jacques
Description: From the square in Saint Jacques, follow the road to the left of the church came to the village Blanchard, carried out with a steep climb then Fiery (m.1878) the site of one of the most Hotels-old refuge in the valley. Always keeping on the right side side of the valley covered with forest, you come to the Plan of Lower Verra (m.2050) dominated by the magnificent view of Castor, Pollux and Hump Rollin. At this point, without prescribed tracks cross the plateau and on to Upper Floor Verra, to surrender the right road, rising along the slopes and sparse trees and rocks until it reaches the basin (a large rock well visible) which lies Blue Lake, gender and ice covered with snow.
Descent: For the same route if you do not want to get to shelter Ferraro.
Variation for the refuge Ferraro: Back to the top of the Plan of Lower Verra, cross a bridge on the left and take a path initially flat (signpost refuge Ferraro) that path with a slight slope to the south east rarely goes above the forest of steep rocky cliffs, and then in the plane still in the forest, you reach the huts up area of \u200b\u200bthe refuge and Resy Ferraro, very friendly and affordable, thereby closing a loop route very scenic. From the refuge is part of the car in 30 minutes.
Considerations: The path can also be made to the contrary, but I think the climb from the refuge Sant Jacques Ferraro is much steeper.
