It is a small alpine lake, in which the Mont-Blanc massif is reflected. A real postcard landscape!

Modest, compared to the rest, but also extraordinary, because of the frame.

Lac de la Flégère is an enchanting gem nestled along the iconic Tour du Mont Blanc trail. During my recent trek, I had the pleasure of experiencing this stunning alpine lake, and it was truly a highlight of my journey.

The hike leading up to Lac de la Flégère offered a delightful blend of challenging terrain and breathtaking scenery. As I ascended through the rugged mountain landscape, I was rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and lush valleys. The trail was well-marked and maintained, making the trek enjoyable for hikers of various skill levels.

Upon reaching Lac de la Flégère, I was immediately captivated by the lake's pristine beauty. The crystal-clear waters mirrored the towering peaks, creating a picture-perfect reflection that left me in awe. It was the perfect spot to pause, take in the natural splendor, and recharge before continuing my journey.

The tranquility of the lake was accentuated by the absence of crowds, as the Tour du Mont Blanc attracts fewer trekkers compared to other well-known trails. This allowed me to fully immerse myself in the serenity of the surroundings and connect with nature on a deeper level.

One of the aspects that I truly appreciated about Lac de la Flégère was the sense of remoteness it offered. Being away from the usual tourist spots made the experience more authentic, and I felt like I had stumbled upon a hidden treasure.
