セール・ポンソン湖周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ16

don't forget to look backwards during the first climax or you willen miss this nice view!

This is where you will have a breathtaking view of the Serre Ponçon lake. By going to this viewpoint, you will be able to admire the turquoise waters of the lake, surrounded by the rugged peaks of the French Alps. The area offers peaceful hiking trails and is a great place to take a break and admire the natural beauty of this large artificial lake, which reflects the surrounding mountains.

The Chanteloube viaduct, located on the Serre-Ponçon lake, is an unusual place. Built for a railway line that was never completed, this partially submerged viaduct offers a fascinating spectacle, with its arches reflected in the turquoise waters of the lake.

Good alternative to the National road where there are a lot of cars. A little bit of elevation gain for a beautiful view and peace!

One of the many panoramic points with lake view.

Very nice to pass over this bridge but pay attention to the traffic.

The Chanteloube viaduct, located in the town of Chorges, emerges like a silent vestige of a bygone era. Started in the early 1900s, it was initially intended to connect Chorges to Barcelonnette by rail. The project was finally abandoned in the 1930s. Each year, in the spring, as the lake swells from melting snow and seasonal rains, the viaduct disappears beneath the waters. However, in winter, when the lake level drops, the viaduct emerges from its aquatic lethargy, revealing its majestic arches and solid pillars.

arch bridge built over Lake Serre-Ponçon in Hautes-Alpes, France. It connects the shores of the lake and offers spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Its construction was completed in 1961, and it has become an iconic symbol of the region, both for its functionality and its architectural beauty.
