The Blessed Lake (Mont-Saxonnex)

Nestled at the foot of the majestic cliffs of Pic de Jallouvre, the Lac Bénit is a natural jewel suspended between sky and mountain. This photo gallery invites you to discover the tranquility of its turquoise waters, the alpine pastures that surround it, and the ever-changing reflections of the surrounding peaks. In summer, hikers find a haven of freshness here; in autumn, the blazing colors are mirrored in the lake for a striking spectacle. Each image captures the serenity and preserved beauty of this emblematic place of Faucigny, a true natural setting in Haute-Savoie.

I’m Patrick, a mountain enthusiast who has lived in Haute-Savoie for over 20 years. As the creator and manager of this travel site dedicated to the region, I introduce you to places worth visiting in our beautiful department, along with unmissable tips and recommendations. I also share discoveries from further afield—such as Corsica, Italy, and the Arcachon Basin—based on my own travels. Having completed the state-certified mountain leader training course in the Pyrenees (back in 1996), I also aim to provide advice on how to enjoy the mountains safely and responsibly.
