Lac du Charvin

This natural lake is located in a magnificent cirque at the foot of Mont Charvin. It is a unique place, which requires protective measures.

Climb a little further towards the Goenne stop and you will come across a very beautiful view of the Mont Blanc and Beaufortain massifs.

Go meet our alpagists in summer and come back with a good cheese from our mountains. 2 mountain pastures are located on this path:
The Aulp of Fier d’En Haut
The Aulp De Fier d’En Bas
Please respect the parks and fences, making sure to close them behind you.

When you arrive at Lake Charvin, we advise you to go to the end of the Aravis chain to have a view of Savoie, which is behind our chain, as well as Mont Blanc.
