Description

The lookout over the Lac du Bourget and the surrounding mountains is simply majestic. "A place for contemplation".

An attractive little promontory, quickly reached, where you can spend a few quiet moments observing the surroundings from the reading tables. This steep mountainside plunging into the lake is dominated by a chapel. Take a few minutes to soak up the special local atmosphere, or pack a family picnic for a relaxing stopover away from it all. Between lake and mountains, this unique place will not leave your memory of landscapes untouched... This is an essential stopover on a tour of the lake along our picturesque roads.
