Grotte des Fées, Natural cave and viewpoint in Brison-Saint-Innocent, France.
The Grotte des Fées extends 31 meters into the rock formation, offering views across Lake Bourget through its entrance portal.
The limestone cave formation developed over millions of years through water erosion, creating passages within the Massif de la Chambotte mountain range.
Local folklore names this cave after fairies, reflecting traditional French Alpine tales that connect natural landmarks to mythological beings.
Visitors reach the cave through marked hiking paths from Brison-Saint-Innocent, with parking available near the trailhead for convenient access.
Emergency services conducted an extensive search operation in January 2021 after discovering abandoned personal items near the cave entrance.
