The Lac des Praz is a small artificial lake located near Les Bois across from the Chamonix golf course at Les Praz. The D1506 main road which runs through the Chamonix valley runs right next to the lake. There is a small path with some benches on the edge of the lake. There are fish in the lake and you can fish the lake as long as you hold a fishing license or day pass.


We would honestly not go out of our way to visit this lake. Its location right next to the main road removes much of its appeal. The small trail on the lake's edge does provide a more pleasant way to reach the Chamonix golf course from Les Bois.
