The col de la Forclaz lies in a commanding position above Lake Annecy, on the road between Vesonne, to the south, and Menthon St Bernard, to the north. These photographs were taken in July 2015.

The spectacular vista across Lake Annecy. Annecy town can be seen on the northern shore of the lake.

The view to the south west with the Semnoz ridge in the background.

The main activity going on while we were here was paragliding.

Another final view to over Lake Annecy. On the peninsular sticking out int the lake you can just make out Château Ruphy.
