12.06.19.Lac de Montriond

Lake Montriond (France) was created following the landslide of part of the Nantaux mountain in the north-west. This geological event, which is not dated with

certainty (from 4500 years to 3 or 4 centuries!), caused a dam on the torrent that ran at the bottom of the valley, hence the formation of the lake.

Le lac de Montriond (France) est né suite à l'éboulement d'une partie de la montagne de Nantaux au Nord Ouest. Cet événement géologique non daté avec certitude (de 4500 ans à 3 ou 4 siècles !) a provoqué un barrage sur le torrent qui courait au fond de la vallée, d'où la formation du lac.
