Built around an Alpine farming settlement on slopes beneath Dent d’Oche, Bernex grew into a year-round mountain resort in Haute-Savoie. The village sits in the French Chablais, above the southern shore of Lake Geneva, where wooded hills rise toward high pastures and limestone summits. Dent d’Oche, reaching 2,222 metres, is the area’s defining peak; paths from Bernex lead into its mountain terrain in the warmer months, while the local ski area shapes winter life. Dairy farming still matters here, and the village belongs to the wider tradition of Abondance cheese, an AOP from this part of the Alps. Bernex remains a working mountain community with a distinct seasonal rhythm. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of the French Chablais and Lake Geneva’s southern shore.
