ABOUT 2 KM FROM THE CHALET

Lac de Chalain

Lac de Chalain is the natural neighbour of Chalet à Comté. Turquoise water, beaches, walks and viewpoints make it a summer favourite, but it is also one of the great landscapes to discover outside the high season.

Our tip: do not stop at the beach. Head up to a viewpoint as well to see the lake surrounded by forest.
