Chablais Geopark, UNESCO Global Geopark in Haute-Savoie, France

The Chablais Geopark extends across 900 square kilometers between Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc, encompassing 62 towns and natural formations dating back 250 million years.

Archaeological discoveries within the geopark reveal human settlements from 12,000 years ago, following the last glacial retreat in the region.

The region produces three Protected Designation of Origin cheeses: Abondance, Reblochon, and Chevrotin, representing traditional agricultural practices and local expertise.

Visitors can explore the geological heritage through marked trails, guided tours, and digital applications that explain the formation of Alpine landscapes.

Professional fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods in Lake Geneva and local rivers, continuing practices that date back thousands of years.
