The wonders of the Southern Alps
Serre-Ponçon, its famous lake, rafts and mountains.
Sitting at an altitude of 800m, the Serre-Ponçon Lake spans two regions, on the border between the Alps of Haute-Provence and the Hautes-Alpes, and is just a stone’s throw from Les Ecrins National Park with its Hiking Trails. As the outlet to the powerful Ubaye and Durance rivers, this large-scale lake is impressive thanks to its sheer size and fluorescent blue colour. Reminiscent of a piece of the ocean caught between the mountains!
The surrounding mountains form a genuine enclave around the lake; the banks are still wild and untouched since only 13km of the 80km of the lake’s banks have been redeveloped. Serre-Ponçon Lake is a real jewel of nature.
The water level in Lac de Serre-Ponçon varies according to the season and weather conditions.
What can you do in the region with children (and grown ups)? Here are just a few trip ideas to enjoy around the Huttopia Campsite at Serre-Ponçon Lake.
