Why don’t we go this summer to the lake of Serre-Ponçon?

From the sunny days, you will appreciate the gentle way of life in the Southern Alps. Just as sunny as the seaside, the mountain is ideal for not melting like snow in the sun, and enjoy its calm to breathe in the fresh air. Away from the summer crowds, take your family on a refreshing experience on the heights of the Hautes Alpes. Water is everywhere, it has shaped the landscapes of this natural territory.

Sail on the turquoise waters of the lake and discover majestic landscapes offering a green palette. Take a boat trip to contemplate the beauty of nature in different shades with enchanting light effects. Do not miss the islet of Saint-Michel and its chapel, which is in the middle of the lake. You will be surprised by the bridge buried by the water when the lake level is at its highest.

Treat yourself to a feeling of freedom by taking a paddle tour on the Serre-Ponçon lake. A real moment of pleasure combining discovery and entertainment. The place is ideal for this activity because of its calm and the beauty of its landscapes.

A region of preserved land with rich colours and wildlife, the Southern Alps are home to a natural space suspended in time. The Queyras Regional Park offers a remarkable territory alternating torrents, pine forests, gorges and cliffs, where nature wakes up to the song of owls and partridges. You will have the opportunity to discover an important rural heritage composed of sundials, calvaries or chapels… which shapes this magical place. Take one of the many hiking trails to explore this natural park, and for the gourmands take a gastronomic break to enjoy the honey and delicious local cheeses.

For experienced cyclists, embark on an unforgettable expedition to the peaks of the mythical Lautaret Pass. An adventure beyond the mountain landscapes, which has already hosted many passages of the famous Tour de France. In summer, it will be an opportunity to discover the wonderful Lautaret Botanical Garden, home to more than 2,000 plant species from the Alps and around the world.

In summer, it is pleasant to find yourself in a cocoon of greenery between lake and mountains. Our club Horizons du Lac is the ideal place to disconnect from daily life and regenerate. Take to the water to reconnect with nature during your holiday in Chorges, and take advantage of our wellness activities to relax.
