More than the lake, what strikes you at the top of Joux Plane is the view it offers of the Mont-Blanc massif.

The Col de Joux Plane (sometimes written Joux-plaine) is a mountain pass located in Haute-Savoie in France, in the commune of Verchaix, at 1,712 meters above sea level.
The toponym Joux designates the presence of forest in mountainous regions, whether in Low Latin (juria) or medieval Latin (juria)2,3 while the toponym plane would derive from the Latin planum and describes a relatively flat space3,4. It must therefore initially have been a flat area covered with forest.
