On Saturday after finishing the walk to Becca di Nona we went down to Aosta, had dinner and researched the place to go sleep, we choose the peaceful Colle San Carlo.
On Sunday after breakfast we start the trek to Mont Colmet (3024m), in 40 minutes we pass the beautiful Lago d'Arpy, continue south and the trail bends east to the equally beautiful Lago di Pietra Rossa. With a magnificent view of the Mont Blanc, from there, there is no trail itself but it is well marked with cairns until the peak.
With a 3h30m hike we reached the peak of Mont Colmet (3024m), went down a little north, passed an old construction and there is another peak north of that construction where you have an equally beautiful view of the glacier of the Ruitor and the Mont Blanc massif.
In this second peak there is a panel informing that there is a route that goes along the edge to the fortification zone to the west of Lago d'Arpy, mountaineering trail, it was a pity not to have known this route before, would have climbed there, as it was day to return home we did not risk and went down the "same" way.
We arrived at the car in the middle of the afternoon, a good time to return home.
