Menthon-Saint-Bernard combines lakeside calm with a steep Alpine setting in a way that reflects its position on the eastern shore of Lake Annecy. Above the village, the Château de Menthon-Saint-Bernard has been built and reshaped from the 10th century onward, its towers and terraces looking across the water. The town’s name recalls Bernard de Menthon, traditionally linked to the hospice at the Great St Bernard Pass. South of the centre, the wooded Roc de Chère nature reserve occupies a promontory between Menthon-Saint-Bernard and Talloires.
