Lac Chambon Beach

Highlight • Lake

Lac Chambon is a lake of volcanic origin. Between its remarkable view of the Monts Dore and its shallow depth (only four meters), swimming becomes very pleasant.

As a good walker, you need an hour to hike around the lake. If you prefer water sports, go directly to the leisure base.

On the beach, taverns, ice cream parlors and restaurants are also open during the high season.

Lake Chambon

Highlight • Lake

Chambon Lake owes its origin to a volcanic flow that blocked the Couze Chambon. Beaches are provided on the northern and western parts of the lake, but it is possible to go around them in order to enjoy the calm of nature on the southern banks.
