Lavalette Lake Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A great course, with quite technical passages on a few portions. The path alternates between single tracks, wider paths, sometimes in the undergrowth, sometimes open.

This dam lake is accessible for swimming and sailing.
At the leisure base, you can also find a beach to get in the water but also some amenities such as toilets and something to fill your water bottles.
