Lac de Tardevant, Glacial lake in La Clusaz, France

The Lac de Tardevant sits at 2110 meters in the Aravis mountain range, surrounded by limestone peaks and alpine meadows.

The lake formed during the last ice age through glacial erosion, creating a natural water reservoir in the only combe of the region containing water.

Local shepherds have used the surrounding alpine pastures for generations, maintaining traditional farming practices in the Haute-Savoie region.

The hiking trail starts at Les Confins parking lot at 1430 meters, covering 9 kilometers round trip with a 750-meter elevation gain.

The lake provides a natural mirror effect, reflecting the surrounding mountains while resting in the only water-filled combe of the Aravis range.
