The effect is assured in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region: visitors are amazed by the beauty of the place. The castle of Menthon-Saint-Bernard dominates the town like the magic castle of Walt Disney.
To live in a magical place, does that tempt you? So, it's in Menthon-Saint-Bernard that you have to settle down.
Between lake, castle and mountains
So delightful that tourists come to make a gourmet stop or visit the surrounding area and go hiking. It must be said that the panorama is sublime. The village is on the shores of Lake Annecy and its pure waters of the mountains. Menthon-Saint-Bernard has more than one kilometer of open banks, to benefit from all the nautical activities. The beach is inviting and one of the privileged places of Lake Annecy, a sailing school, a diving club and a boat rental center are available to Menthonnais and holidaymakers. And admire from above this wonderful panorama, why not fly over the "Pearl of the Alps" in paragliding or hang gliding.
Nature lovers and hikers have found the place to set their bags permanently. The area is so rich that a lifetime will not be enough, between walks on mountain trails, snowshoeing in the winter and of course skiing, we do not have a minute to be bored. Our favorite, but it remains between us, a getaway on the top of the Tournette. This will leave you with magical memories, between mountain lawns and rocky trails (it's sporty, but we know you like it), an adventure to discover at the 360-degree summit the beauty of the lake and all of the Northern Alps. We hear from here, your Wow!
And for other WOW in perspective, less than an hour from Menthon-Saint-Bernard, the high mountains, the ski resorts including La Clusaz, Grand Bornand and ... To you the snowy slopes, and welcome to the future small (big) champions of Haute-Savoie.
A village as we like them
Menthon-Saint-Bernard is a village where the comfort of life holds a very important place. Residents enjoy this cozy atmosphere, where everyone knows and greet each other, but also the proximity of the city of Annecy, just 10 km, with all its shops, restaurants and amenities. But do not think that the village does not have shopkeepers and good restaurants. Protected by its magnificent castle of the 11th century, (to visit absolutely on the Bluffy pass) and the family of Menthon - still owner of the estate - the village is ideally located, at the foot of Lanfon teeth, south of Mont Veyrier and to the north of the Roc de Chère, this small massif which advances in the lake. The landscape offers incredibly beautiful views to the properties of the municipality. For your eyes alone, the Bauges massif, the Semnoz, the Tournette massif and the Annecy bay.
The village houses are very popular and the houses on the heights offer a bird's eye view of the blue waters of Lake Annecy. There are beautiful houses with swimming pool on beautiful grounds, some prestigious villas are feet in the water with a pontoon to moor many water toys.
