    Nestled in the heart of a coniferous forest, this easy hike takes you to the magnificent Lac Vert in Passy Mont-Blanc. A true natural jewel, the lake owes its unique emerald color to the presence of algae and the exceptional transparency of its waters, which give a glimpse of submerged trunks and vegetation. This enchanting spectacle attracts the gaze of Mont-Blanc, which is often reflected here in perfect tranquillity.

    Classified as a protected natural site, Lac Vert is a fragile ecosystem. To preserve its purity and biodiversity, swimming is strictly forbidden. Even small amounts of sunscreen or other substances can upset the balance.

    An ideal walk for young and old, combining wonder and respect for nature.

    From the Passy Plaine-Joux parking lot, follow the tarmac road for 400m towards Lac Vert. Just before the Cabanes du Mont-Blanc, take the downhill path on your right. After the descent, cross the asphalt road and take the path in front of you to walk around the lake on its balcony. Continue your loop to the lake restaurant below. Return to the road and pick up the path you took on the outward journey.
