Beautiful mountain lake with lots of fish. The half a kilometer long hiking trail on the direct route south-east towards the hiking car park at 1795m is quite swampy in parts. Poles can be very useful, or you can easily bypass this section by taking the path onto the road a little further up the hill and walking the road to the car park.
There is a restaurant on the opposite side.

Chavonnes Lake

Highlight • Lake

Visit Lac des Chavonnes for a quiet alpine getaway, where you’ll find a crystal-clear lake surrounded by dense forest and mountain peaks. Located approximately 1,690 meters above sea level, this hidden lake offers hiking trails that wind through pine trees and lead to breathtaking viewpoints. Keep an eye out for local wildlife, including marmots and alpine birds, which add to the lake’s serene, natural beauty.
