    This beautiful lake is the perfect destination for a walk, it is very easy to get there, so much so that it is a very popular destination for families. In summer, marmots roam everywhere. On the banks of the lake, on a small hill, there is the small chapel of Notre-Dame des Lumières.

      Lac du Lauzanier is absolutely magnificent! Dominated by the small Notre-Dame des Lumières chapel, it offers a lovely panorama of the high peaks of Ubaye.

        The small Notre-Dame des Lumières chapel stands on the north bank of Lac du Lauzanier. It is nothing more than an unadorned field stone building with a slate roof, but here you can relax and linger for a moment in this great atmosphere.

            A beautiful lake where to rest and do a foot “cryotherapy” on the way from Bousieyas to Larches In the Tour de l’Ubaye.

              Beautiful lake reachable with an easy walk of about 2 hours from Colle della Maddalena (difference in altitude of about 350 m)
