If we were you, we would go there! Blessed Lake is a great hike for the family. The setting is beautiful and the lake is a gift from heaven. This little corner of paradise at the foot of the cliffs of the Bargy massif is to be preserved!

A blessed hike!

At an altitude of 1 meters, a heavenly lake awaits you in the middle of the mountain above the village of Mont-Saxonnex. The blessed lake nestles at the foot of the chain and the eyes of Bargy.

For this hike accessible from 5 years old, take the road to Morsullaz and park at the Bété car park or at the chairlift car park and follow the wide path that climbs towards the blessed lake. It winds up in the forest before skirting the ski lift.

At the top, you can finally enjoy the view: the lake is magnificent at the foot of an impressive cliff. The walk is very popular with families, so do not hesitate to ring the alarm clock to hike with pleasure in the early hours of the day.
