Lakes of the Hautes-Alpes department
In high or medium mountains, the Hautes-Alpes department has several hundred lakes of all sizes. Some of them, including the Serre-Ponçon lake, offer nautical activities. Others are open to fishing. Hikers appreciate their rural or wilderness setting. Lakes and torrents are home to a rich biodiversity: insects, fish, amphibians, birds, etc.
A paradise for nature activities
With its bucolic landscapes where forests, valleys and mountain pastures intertwine, the region is a paradise for lovers of walking and nature activities (mountain biking, horse riding, paragliding, climbing…). You will be able to try out new activities, whatever your level. The lakes and rivers also invite you to try your hand at other activities.
