The Fortunio peak is the highest point in the Margeride massif. It is therefore naturally designated as the ideal observation post for Lake Charpal.

Lac de Charpal lies at an altitude of 1,360 meters amidst raised bogs, forests, and heathland. This artificial reservoir, built in the 1930s, supplies Mende with drinking water. Today, it is a tranquil retreat, popular for hiking, nature observation, and its protected flora and fauna.

Very nice walk, the first part is a little difficult to access the lake because of the big difference in altitude. But the tour of the lake is very pleasant, and accessible with children (10 years old)

An extremely pleasant walk with beautiful panoramas, to do on foot or by bike, a successful experience despite a headwind on the eastern side of the lake which cools the air, I highly recommend it.

The Charpal lake discovery trail offers numerous perspectives on the body of water. This one is particularly beautiful! A path allows you to approach the water.
