Savines-le-Lac, Mountain commune in Hautes-Alpes, France
Savines-le-Lac extends over 125 square kilometers at an elevation of 790 meters along the shores of Lake Serre-Ponçon in southeastern France.
The original village was completely relocated and reconstructed in the 1960s to accommodate the creation of the Serre-Ponçon dam and its reservoir.
The municipality maintains an international partnership with the Italian town of Luserna San Giovanni, promoting cross-border exchanges and community activities.
The town offers multiple supervised beaches with Blue Flag certification, water sports facilities, and direct access to hiking trails throughout the year.
With 300 sunny days annually, this administrative center combines mountain landscapes and lake activities while serving as a gateway to the ski resorts.
