The Lac du Pontet is a very beautiful lake at an altitude of about 2,000 meters with a stunning view of the region. If you like, you can refresh yourself with a dip in the cool water on hot days. Occasionally you will also meet paragliders who have an ideal starting point on the slope next to the lake.

A very beautiful alpine lake at 1,982 meters with a splendid view of the mountains where you can swim to cool off.

Mountain biking

A magnificent alpine lake, perched above the La Grave ski area. The lake is a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of all the surrounding bike parks and ski areas, and makes a great destination. This is made all the better as the trails leading to this lake offer brilliant riding terrain, with technical and engaging uphill and downhill singles.
