Nestling in the heart of the Combe de Vernant, this lake is a hillside reservoir offering stunning views of the Aravis mountains. You can admire the Pointe Percée directly from the lake.

Located at an altitude of 1,842m (6 043 ft) , Vernant lake serves as Flaine's drinking water reserve, which is why swimming is prohibited.

During the summer season, fishing workshops organised by the Flaine Tourist Office take place on the shores of the lake.

Picnic tables are set up around the lake.

Openings

From 15 May 2025 until 15 October 2025 - Open everyday

In winter, the lake is located on the ski slopes.

Access

Vernant lake is located upstream from the resort, in a combe bearing the same name.

If you are coming by car, there is a large free car park. Coming from Les Carroz, the car park will be on your right.

In summer, during the school holidays, you can take a free shuttle bus directly from the Flaine or Les Carroz resorts. Simply ask the driver to stop at the "Vernant" stop.

Then, from the car park, it's a 25-minute walk up 100m to the lake.

Vernant car park

In winter and summer alike, the Vernant car park has plenty of free spaces, making it easy to get to the start of the slopes or hiking trails.
