The Achard lake, a touch of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
Beautiful mountain lake at 1,917 meters of altitude easily visible from the Infernet Pass and the Croix de Chamrousse in summer and covered with snow in winter.
It can be explored on foot or on snowshoes in winter. It comprises a main lake in the form of a series of small lakes that are in the process of being filled in (the exact name is Achard Lakes). In fine weather, you'll have an exceptional view of the Taillefer massif.
Lac Achard is part of the Espace Naturel Sensible (ENS) "Plateau de l'Arselle et lac Achard". It is also located in a Natura 2000 zone.
Fire, wood-gathering, camping, picking, fishing and swimming (even for dogs) are strictly forbidden (subject to fines). Dogs must be kept on a leash. Bivouacs are permitted from sunset to sunrise (except from May 1 to October 30 + Infernet area).
ATTENTION: NEW BY-LAW SUMMER
Please stay on the trails to preserve these fragile environments.
