Bon-Nant, Mountain creek in Les Contamines-Montjoie, France

The Bon-Nant flows from Col du Bonhomme through the Montjoie Valley, carving natural gorges before joining the Arve river at Saint-Gervais-les-Bains.

The term 'nant' originated from Savoie regional naming conventions, where it designates mountain torrents that were systematically recorded during geographical mapping initiatives.

The creek forms a natural border between Mont-Blanc and Beaufortain massifs, with a pedagogical trail featuring 16 stations explaining local heritage.

Visitors can access wheelchair-friendly paths along the creek's left bank, with facilities including restrooms near the tourist office and multiple recreational areas.

The stream supports both hydroelectric production and Fario trout populations, while maintaining walking paths through light woodland areas with regular rest spots.
