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.

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.
