Lac Bénit

Located at 1452 meters elevation in Haute-Savoie, Lac Bénit extends 300 meters in length and 160 meters in width beneath the cliffs of Grand Bargy.

The natural site received protection status as both an Espace Naturel Sensible and a Site Naturel Classé to preserve its geological and ecological characteristics.

The lake functions as a meeting point for nature enthusiasts who gather to observe local wildlife including gypaètes and bouquetins in their natural environment.

Visitors can access the lake through a marked trail from Le Bété parking area, completing a 7.8-kilometer round trip in approximately three hours.

From April 1st to November 14th, two distinct paths lead to the lake: Morsulaz with a 27% gradient and Bété with a gentler 16% slope.
