Situated at an elevation of around 2,000 meters (6,562 feet), this lake is known for its stunning views of Mont Blanc and the surrounding alpine scenery. Due to its altitude, the lake remains quite cold throughout the year, even in summer, with water temperatures often staying below 10-12°C (50-54°F). These chilly temperatures make Lac du Brévent generally unsuitable for swimming, as the cold can be quite intense even during the warmer months.

While swimming is not common, Lac du Brévent attracts hikers and nature enthusiasts who come to admire the pristine mountain environment and the breathtaking views. The lake is accessible by several hiking trails, and a popular cable car from Chamonix takes visitors up to the Brévent summit, where they can enjoy panoramic views of the lake and valley.
