Maar-type volcano. Lava and water met in the depths of the earth's crust to create a large crater at the origin of the current lake.
This lake with pure water and suitable for swimming has just been awarded the “Blue Flag” label, which testifies to the environmental quality of the site.
An unmissable walk for any Altiligerian! We are proud of this lake which is one of the top lakes in Auvergne. A rejuvenating 3 km walk between clear waters and green fir trees. And with the fall colors, it's even more magical!
Dive into a volcanic lake
At an altitude of 1 m, in summer, we like to come and take in the freshness of the fir trees and take a dip in the clear waters of the lake, classified Blue Flag.
