Lakeside Trail at Lac des Settons

Highlight • Trail

Around the Lac des Settons is a 15 km walk. Start and end at the dam where there are some restaurants / cafes for a thirst quench. You can also take a mountain bike on the hiking trail or on the road around the lake.

Settons Lake Dam

Highlight • Structure

While other dams have a very specific shape, designed to withstand enormous water pressures, this dam was built in a pyramid shape. The water pressure exerted on this dam is restrained by the weight of the structure itself. It has a twin dam nearby. This dam was completed in 1858 and was one of the most formidable dams of its day.
