Lake Peyrol

Highlight • Lake

Created in 2001, this reserve with a capacity of 65000m³ of water has for main objective the manufacture of artificial snow, it allows to snow access Vars-Risoul. Many trout have taken up residence there.
A second hill reserve was inaugurated in 2010 and is located at the top of the Chabrières cable car.
The Lac de Peyrol was landscaped and today is a perfect place to picnic and stroll while having a breathtaking view of the Ecrins.
