    Tips

    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 clear mountain lake where swimming is permitted at your own risk. It's a lovely walk around the lake. In summer, there's a food truck with benches.

        The kiosk next door sells sandwiches, ice cream, soft drinks, beer and crepes.
