Discover Féternes Between plateaus and panoramas

An extended municipality on the Gavot plateau, Féternes boasts varied landscapes and 360° panoramic views of Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc. Its strategic position favoured the construction of a Savoyard castle as early as the 10th century. Vestiges such as the cup stone also suggest a very ancient human presence. The Château-vieux site in Féternes has been classified as a “remarkable heritage site”, with its authentic chapel and the Compey-Lucinge fortified house.

Do you know the Champeillant site

A must-see geosite in the Chablais Geopark, the Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs chapel offers a panoramic view. Lake Geneva, the Alps in the background and Mont Blanc visible on a clear day. Geopark panels explain the glacial origins of the site, the geological history of the Alps and the path of water, as well as the protection of the impluvium.
