Roc de Chère Nature Reserve
Roc de Chère
A forested limestone headland jutting into the lake between Talloires and Menthon, where forest trails lead to cliff viewpoints over the water.
Roc de Chère is a limestone headland reaching into the lake. It was designated a national nature reserve in 1977 and is covered in oak and pine forest and small peat bogs, which host rare plants and amphibians. The circular trail takes about 1.5 to 2 hours and passes several cliff viewpoints overlooking the lake, the Duingt peninsula and the mountains across the water. Within the reserve, picking plants, lighting fires and taking dogs off the lead are prohibited. There are no railings at the cliff edges, so take care.
