going around the lake we can climb a small path which takes us to the opposite side of the lake and make a loop.

Family hike, we are very quickly at the Lake, nestled in a hollow. A pleasant setting, ideal for a picnic.

Last nice place before the terrible climb over the scree to the Encrennaz pass (to be done in dry weather for those who are sure-footed!)

Nice little village. Here we had our last refreshment before heading into the mountains.

Lake Bénit is located at an altitude of 1,452 meters, on the northern slope (ubac) of the Bargy chain, in the Bornes1 massif. It is dominated to the south by the limestone wall of the Bargy chain from which the scree of the circus of the Col d'Encrenaz flows and delimits the south-west shore of the lake. The northwest bank corresponds to the slope of the old glacial basin while the east bank leads to the valley of the Lac Bénit stream.

Mont-Saxonnex is a typical village with a café, a bakery and a magnificent view! I recommend the homemade ice cream if you are taking a break.
