Lac d’Issarlès

Highlight • Lake

Beautiful mountain lake in a region with many marked hiking trails. There is a beach on the north shore where swimming is monitored in July/August. Due to the altitude the water is always a bit fresh...

One of the sources of the Loire - you can get your feet wet here, but be careful, it's freezing cold :-)
