Lac des Béraudes, Alpine lake in Hautes-Alpes, France.
The Lac des Béraudes sits at an elevation of 2504 meters, surrounded by mountains in the Haute Clarée Valley, northwest of the village of Névache.
Glacial erosion carved this lake during geological periods, creating a deep basin held by a natural rock barrier made of calcschist and Neo-Cretaceous marble.
French mountain guides have mapped and documented specific hiking routes to this lake, passing knowledge through generations of alpine enthusiasts.
Hikers can reach the lake through a marked trail starting at Laval parking area, with a 490-meter elevation gain open from June to October.
The southern shore features small rock glaciers and red marl layers that showcase the distinctive geological composition of the Cerces massif.
