Lac de Chaux-de-Mont — photo spot in 1854 Leysin, Switzerland
Lac de Chaux-de-Mont
Small alpine lake above Leysin offering mirror-like reflections of surrounding peaks, seasonal wildflowers, and clean foregrounds of rocks and reeds. Best at sunrise or golden hour for soft light and low wind; autumn brings vivid colors and winter adds snowy contrast. Accessible by short hikes from Leysin (road access and limited parking at trailheads); no entry fee but dress for mountain weather. Weekdays and early mornings are least crowded.
