Based in <strong>Messery<\/strong> in <strong>Haute-Savoie,<\/strong> Camping Le Relais du L\u00e9man combines the cool air of the Chablais mountains with the water sports on Lake Geneva. On the agenda: refreshing nights, mini-adventures and a chance to unwind away from the crowds.  <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With coastal areas becoming increasingly crowded and France regularly experiencing heatwaves in July and August, the mountains are emerging as the new destination of choice. Choosing a summer holiday in the mountains means swapping crowds for space, and sweltering tarmac for a refreshing breeze. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tucked away on the L\u00e9man peninsula, in Messery, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/le-relais-du-leman.pausado.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Camping Le Relais du L\u00e9man<\/a><\/strong> (and our second site, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leman-plage.pausado.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Le L\u00e9man Plage<\/a><\/strong> in Excenevex) offers you a magnificent playground in Haute-Savoie. Here\u2019s why you should head for the hills this summer. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. An ideal climate: nights that are finally bearable<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The physical rule is mathematical: on average, the temperature drops by around 2\u00b0C for every 300 metres of altitude. The Chablais region also benefits from the regulating effect of the water mass of <strong>Lake Geneva<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>During the day:<\/strong> Plenty of sunshine \u2013 ideal for walking in the mountain pastures or water sports.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>At night:<\/strong> The mountain air flows down into the valley. The nights remain cool, ensuring a deeply restorative sleep, whilst air-conditioners in the cities are running at full blast. It\u2019s the ideal setting to try your hand at <strong>slow travel and unwinding whilst camping<\/strong>.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. The unique appeal of \u2018Lac-Montagne\u2019<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Experience the mountains whilst enjoying the benefits of the seaside: that is the unique promise of the Bas-Chablais region in Savoie.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>800 metres from the campsite:<\/strong> Messery Beach is the perfect spot for a swim with stunning views of the Swiss coastline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A 12-minute drive away:<\/strong> Excenevex Beach is the only natural beach with fine sand on the whole of Lake Geneva. A veritable freshwater lagoon at the foot of the Alps. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Note to cyclists:<\/strong> Lake Geneva is also the starting point of <strong>EuroVelo 17. <\/strong> If you\u2019re travelling by bike, check out our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pausado.com\/divers\/viarhona-camping-etapes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">guide to cycling along the ViaRh\u00f4na<\/a><\/strong> to plan your stages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/le-relais-du-leman.pausado.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/07\/vue-lac-leman_converted.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5887\" srcset=\"https:\/\/le-relais-du-leman.pausado.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/07\/vue-lac-leman_converted.avif 1000w, https:\/\/le-relais-du-leman.pausado.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/07\/vue-lac-leman_converted-300x135.avif 300w, https:\/\/le-relais-du-leman.pausado.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/07\/vue-lac-leman_converted-768x346.avif 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Escape mass tourism and rediscover some space<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forget the morning scramble to claim a spot on the sand. In the mountains, space is the norm, not the exception. Whether on the hiking trails of the <strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.geoparc-chablais.com\/\">UNESCO Global Geopark of Chablais<\/a><\/strong> or on the unspoilt shores of the lake, you\u2019ll enjoy the freedom of movement and tranquillity you need to unwind with your family.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

The water is fresh and particularly pleasant and refreshing for a swim after a day\u2019s walk. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Should you pack warm clothes for a summer holiday in Haute-Savoie?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, that\u2019s typical of the mountains. Whilst the days are warm (often over 28\u00b0C in the lowlands), temperatures drop rapidly as soon as the sun goes down. A jumper and a light jacket are essential if you want to enjoy your evenings on the terrace in comfort.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is the campsite a good base for visiting neighbouring Switzerland?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quite right. Messery is situated a few kilometres from the border. You can easily reach Geneva by car or take a lake shuttle operated by the <strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cgn.ch\/\">Compagnie G\u00e9n\u00e9rale de Navigation (CGN)<\/a><\/strong> from the port of Thonon-les-Bains or Yvoire to cross the lake and visit Lausanne or Nyon by boat.  <\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow
