Guide

Approach and anchoring

Open approach from the lake, between the Swiss coast to the north and the French shore to the south. Entrance between two breakwaters marked by lights. Maximum draught 3 metres. Exposed to the bise from the north-east which funnels through the Petit Lac, and the visitor berths near the entrance feel it most.

Practical
