To cool off in the summer

The Haute-Savoie is right at the heart of the Alps and is full of little (and bigger) aquatic hidden gems in the midst of the mountains.
In Savoie Mont Blanc, we particularly enjoy being able to set off on a hike in the cool mornings, then relaxing on the shores of a lake in the afternoon.
Here is our special selection of swimming spots where you’re guaranteed to be able to cool off in the summer!
