Le Col de Savalène (d'Arvouin) pass

  • Mountain pass
Elevation : 1856m
74360 La Chapelle-d'Abondance
Franco-Swiss pass nestled at 1856m above sea level, between Pointe d'Arvouin and Lenla (Linleu). This pass overlooks the valley and chalets of Savalène on Swiss territory as well as the mountain pasture and Lake Arvouin on French territory.
  • Sustainable tourism
    The wetland bordering the Lac d'Arvouin below the chalet is a sensitive and protected heritage area.
    To avoid trampling and preserve this rich and fragile ecosystem (protected flora and breeding ground for aquatic fauna), please do not walk around Lac d'Arvouin and stay on the main track leading up to the chalet.

    Our mountain lakes are fragile environments, and our actions have an impact on these ecosystems, so please don't swim in them (dogs included).
    When you swim, you leave behind sunscreen, bacteria and organic particles that disturb the ecological balance.
