7/2023 - again a subsequent bathing ban with many signs, there is nobody in the water either

8.12 km

The Lac de Bourdouze is located at an altitude of 1170 meters, in the Massif du Sancy. You can get a good view from the road, and if you want to get closer you can, but it will be on a gravel road. You can access the lake year-round, but it freezes during the winter months.
