    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.

      Located at an altitude of 1925 m in a magnificent glacial cirque, the artificial lake of Salanfe is surrounded by the Dents-du-Midi, the Tour Salière and the Luisin. By bike, the easiest access is via the Van valley. The climb is very steep, but on a wide road (for a bike...) without technical difficulty. A friendly inn (salanfe.ch/fr/) welcomes hikers, walkers or cyclists in the summer.
