Lac des Confins

The lake sits at an elevation of 1450 meters in the Aravis mountain range, surrounded by alpine meadows and mountain peaks.

The natural formation of Lac des Confins occurred during the last ice age when glacial movement carved out the basin in the limestone landscape.

Local residents gather at the lake for the annual Defi-Foly event, where participants attempt to cross the water surface on skis during spring.

Visitors can access the lake through multiple hiking trails, with dedicated parking areas and picnic facilities available throughout the year.

During winter months, the lake surface completely freezes, transforming into a natural ice rink beneath the snow-covered Aravis mountains.
