Immerse yourself in Montriond Lake's Frozen North setting as you take in the vast expanse of snow at the foot of immense cliffs…during the cold months Lake Montriond offers a dazzling winter coat thanks to a frozen layer of ice — make sure you see it!
In winter, the lake co-exists comfortably with the surrounding ski resorts. It is after all a wintersports paradise in its own right, notably for cross-country ski enthusiasts. With skis on, the only sound is the snow sliding away underneath you, creating the ideal opportunity to enjoy this unspoilt and inspiring setting. Those looking for more action also head to Montriond Lake for ice-diving…Heading for the hole cut in the thick layer of ice, divers head down into another timeless world where the air bubbles dance away merrily…this is one icy experience to try right away!
Tips
Feel the emotion run through you at the Lake fireworks display, a splendid event that makes full use of the watery backdrop! Takes place every second Saturday in August, hosted by Montriond town hall (entrance free) with thousands of visitors in attendance…
