Lake Miage, is a place of great narural interest at the foot of Mont Blanc. From up here you can see how frightfully and magnificently imposing was the river of ice that once, not too remote to us, descended in the direction of Courmayeur. Caressing its banks, we can feel the voice of the glacier, with its creaks and the fall of some of its blocks covered by debris inside the mirror of water: small icebergs that testify to the consequences of climate change.
