How to find us

Vernant lake is located upstream from the resort, in a combe bearing the same name.

If you are coming by car, there is a large free car park. Coming from Les Carroz, the car park will be on your right.

In summer, during the school holidays, you can take a free shuttle bus directly from the Flaine or Les Carroz resorts. Simply ask the driver to stop at the "Vernant" stop.

Then, from the car park, it's a 25-minute walk up 100m to the lake.
