This stunning lake – known also as the emerald green lake – sits quietly at the foot of immense cliffs and is a favourite with children and adults thanks to the idyllic view and the feeling of calm it evokes.

Lake Montriond is a huge outdoor playground with something for everyone. It includes a swimming area that’s suitable for very young swimmers (lifeguards in July and August), while other visitors can try pony riding, canoeing, paddle. Older children and adults also enjoy walking around the lake to take in
the intoxicating beauty of it all… The lake is also a jewel of a find for anglers, with its healthy stock of fario trout and rainbow trout, char and tiddlers! A fishing licence is required.

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…
