If you want to reach the reservoir you have to climb the steep mountain road up to a 28% gradient, but at the top you will be rewarded with a great panorama.

Hiking

Lac de Salanfe south of the Dents-du-Midi, also surrounded to the east, west and south by striking mountain ranges. The Salanfe River rises to the west at the Col de Susanfe and the lake is formed by impoundment to the east before flowing down into the Rhone Valley. To the west, in the lowlands, stretch green, damp depressions with arms of water. Around the lake and on the mountain slopes (especially in the north-east), great alpine flora ensures an incredible abundance of colors and flowers. At this point you can relax with a rest - with wonderful views all around!

Hiking

A wonderful path leads you past the shore of Lac de Salanfe. The Cabane de Salanfe mountain inn and a small chapel are located by the dam. Let your gaze wander over the blue water and the surrounding mountains.
