Bellevaux

Tucked into the Brevon valley in the Chablais Alps, Bellevaux is a place whose character is shaped by steep slopes, forests and mountain water. This Haute-Savoie commune sits between the Lake Geneva basin and higher Alpine terrain, in a quieter corner of the region. The Brevon runs through the valley, while Lac de Vallon, formed when a 1943 landslide dammed the river, is a defining local landmark. Bellevaux also retains the memory of the medieval Chartreuse de Vallon, a Carthusian monastery founded in the 12th century. Walking routes, local ski areas and scattered hamlets make it a useful base for exploring the surrounding Chablais. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of the Chablais Alps.
