Lac Blanc

Highlight • Lake

This is the classic view of Mont Blanc with Lac Blanc in the foreground - not to be missed. I advise you to avoid being there in the middle of the day in summer. It is in the early morning and at the end of the day that you will find the most beautiful light and the greatest calm. The golden colors in autumn are beautiful.

Tour du Pays du Mont-Blanc

Highlight • Trail

When you're just below Lac Blanc on the Tour du Pays du Mont Blanc trail, prepare yourself for one of the most visually striking segments of the trip. As you traverse the rugged terrain that leads to this famous lake, you'll have views of Mont Blanc itself.
