Come fish for trout in the enchanting setting of Lac Bénit, a Category 1 mountain lake. This unspoiled spot at the foot of Le Petit-Bornand is perfect for a day of fishing in nature.

Located at an elevation of 1,449 meters, Lac Bénit offers a wild and peaceful setting for lovers of high-altitude fishing. Its clear waters are home to a healthy population of brown trout, rainbow trout, and Arctic char. Fishing here is considered moderately difficult, which will delight anglers seeking a bit of a technical challenge in an authentic mountain setting. After a roughly one-hour hike to reach the lake, you’ll enjoy an exceptional panoramic view of the surrounding cliffs while watching for fish rising to the surface. Please help preserve the sensitive natural environment of Lake Bénit: - Swimming and camping are prohibited - Motor vehicles are prohibited - Do not disturb herds or wild animals; remain quiet, stay on the trails, keep your distance from animals, and keep your dog on a leash - Do not pick flowers or other plants; some species are protected - Do not leave trash behind
