👍👍 Un super lac pour une journée en exterieur. L’eau y est bonne et on peut si baigner. Je recommande de partir a pied depuis Ortiac pour les plus aguerris👌🏽

👍👍 La route pour accéder à cet endroit est assez longue, mais une fois arrivé sur place, la vue est magnifique 😍 … ! … Une retenue d’eau logée au milieu des montagnes, cela donne un cadre assez saisissant. A voir … et à revoir.

👍 a lovely location with all sorts of aquatic activities available. good place for a walk. There is a 15 km circuit walk of the lake which is lovely. For the most part you are walking right along the shore, with forest/ woodlands next to you. Very pleasant and an easy, flat stroll.

Hiking & picnicking around a high-altitude lake with a scenic backdrop of snow-covered peaks.
