Lake Panoramas of the Bourget Lake

First stop of the day, the Aigrettes pond, a haven for birds of all types. Thanks to its geographical situation, Lake Bourget is a major axe in the migration of birds from Northern to Southern Europe. Thus, the lake is a popular place of reproduction. It is also part of a program to reintegrate freshwater turtles into a natural habitat.

Next stop, Bourdeau, this charming Savoyard village is located at the foot of the Mont du Chat, the Cat Mountain with its famous peak the cat’s tooth. The Château de Bourdeau which is surrounded by its vineyards offers a spectacular view of the Lake Bourget. No doubt that you will be enchanted by this lake-mountain panorama!

Then you will discover Chanaz, the village dates back to 1868, located along a lazy river that joins the Lake Bourget. There are many things to do and visit in Chanaz but the must is the old mill ! The passionate and interesting millworker who has restored the old building, will explain in detail the mill and his recipe for the walnut and hazelnut oil that has made him famous...
Discover along the way the port of Châtillon and its beaches where many water activities take place.

Our chauffeur at Experience Mont Blanc will then whisk you off to a special spot, the Belvédère de la Chambotte, where you will be able to admire a fantastic view of the Lake Bourget in its entirety and the surrounding ridges even those of the Chartreuse massif.
