    Hiking

    This body of water is a lake of glacial origin (natural) raised by a dam and thus extending the surface of Lake Ossoue. It is installed at the bottom of Oulettes d'Ossoue.

    The term “oulette” refers to a small circus in Occitan. So you have a lake in the middle of a circus: a guaranteed spectacle.

    Running

    Ossoue Lake is one of the starting points for reaching Vignemale, but it also offers other interesting perspectives. Of glacial origin, it was raised by a dam which increased its total area.
