Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach from the open lake with no tidal constraint. Sand bottom, good holding in 3 to 5 m. Open to the Bise, the cold NE wind that builds steep chop on the Léman, and the anchorage can roll from the wash of frequent passing traffic. Port de Nernier lies 1.2 NM W and the Château de Coudrée headland 2.8 NM SE.

Practical

Water point ashore. No fuel, no chandlery. A night in Port de Nernier runs to about 50 euros for an 11 metre boat, among the dearest on the Léman. Nernier village has a bakery, two restaurants and a small grocery within 400 m of the port. Nearest fuel berth at Thonon-les-Bains, 7 NM E.

Ashore

Nernier is classed among Les Plus Beaux Villages de France since 2017. Lakeshore path from the port to the hamlet of Locum, 1.5 km E. Château de Coudrée, a 13th century keep, stands at the end of the Coudrée beach 2.8 NM SE.
