refuge de la Tournette — photo spot in Talloires, 74290 Talloires, France
refuge de la Tournette
High-alpine refuge perched on La Tournette ridge above Lake Annecy — dramatic panoramas of the lake, jagged limestone ridges and the refuge itself make strong foreground subjects. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm side-light and cloud play; after-storm mornings offer moody low clouds. Reachable by marked mountain trails from Talloires/Col; expect a steep 1.5–3 hr hike (seasonal snow in winter). Reserve meals or beds in high season; park at the trailhead and carry layers and water.
