minus the really big mountains
? I don't think so.
Triglav (the top of the mountains to the West [photo looks Southwest-west], about 20 km away) is 2864 m; while Lake Bled is at 475 m, so 2389 m difference. (Even closer, towards the North at the Austrian border, is another 2000+ m chain.)
For Lake Geneva (372 m), I guess Dents du Midi (3257 m) will have to count as maximum -- so 2885 m above the water table. For Lac d'Annecy (447 m), I guess it's La Tournette (2351 m) -- so 1904 m above water level. *Traitor*, n.

I once travelled all along the Northern shore, camped along it, then walked along the lakeshore in Geneva, without seeing it - it must have been moist or cloudy when I was there. <checking photos> Indeed, both. When I was in Geneva, I went to Chamonix the next day, and that travel along the l'Arve seemed quite a distance. *Traitor*, n.
