Water activities at Lake Serre-Ponçon near the campsite

A gigantic project: originally created to regulate the flow of the Durance, construction was started by EDF in 1955 and lasted 54 months to create the largest earth dam in Europe. Filling it took no more than… 18 months!

Lake Serre-Ponçon now stretches over 3,000 hectares at an altitude of 780 m. With its 80 km of shoreline and turquoise waters, it has become a prime destination for water sports and family recreation. You can enjoy sailing, canoeing-kayaking, rowing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, towed tubing, or even embark on a boat cruise. Not to mention swimming in clear, well-monitored waters, and fishing for the more patient. A multifaceted place, offering both adventure and relaxation, just a stone’s throw from your accommodation!
