Lacs des Chéserys, Glacial lakes in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France.
The Lacs des Chéserys consist of two mountain lakes situated at 2150 meters elevation within the Aiguilles Rouges Nature Reserve.
The lakes formed through glacial activity during the last ice age, shaping the current landscape of the Chamonix-Mont-Blanc valley.
Local environmental protection measures reflect French Alpine communities' commitment to preserving natural water bodies in high-altitude environments.
Access to these lakes remains open from May 15 to October 31, with hiking trails starting from Argentière providing the main route.
These lakes serve as natural mirrors, creating perfect reflections of the Mont Blanc massif in their clear waters during calm conditions.
