Chablais
The Chablais UNESCO Global Geopark is unique, with a landscape that recounts an ancient geological history of over 250 million years. Along the 50km which separates Lac Léman (lack Geneva) and the Joux Plane Pass (Morzine - Avoriaz), the Chablais reveals the story of the formation of the Alps, but also the recent glacial events that have carved out the landscape. The riches of this geological history are visible, notably through a large number of lakes and a wealth of renowned mineral waters (Evian, Thonon). The quality of its geological record and the ease of its interpretation render the area of international significance for the understanding of the Alpine Orogeny and the development of tectonic thrust theories. The mountainous limestone peaks of the Haut Chablais stand at around 2400m and contrast with the lower altitude rolling landscape of the Bas Chablais to the north.
