    Hiking

    This point of view offers a superb perspective on the Avène reservoir. It allows you to realize the magnitude of this serpent of turquoise water which weaves its way between the Orb mountains over six kilometres.

    Hiking

    Created in 1962 for hydroelectric production and regulation of the Orb river, the Lac des Monts d’Orb is 6 kilometres long and covers an area of 190 hectares. A former lead and silver mine is now submerged under the lake: the mines and their exploitation were a source of wealth for the Orb valley, from Antiquity until the 1950s. The lake is not intended for swimming, but you can have lovely accompanied outings on a stand-up paddle or kayak, and go fishing.
