Lac de la Sassière, Artificial lake in Tignes, France.
The Lake Sassiere reservoir stands at 2264 meters altitude in the French Alps, surrounded by mountain peaks and alpine meadows.
The construction of this water reservoir in 1959 transformed the natural valley into a strategic water management facility for the Tignes region.
The lake sits within the Grande Sassiere Nature Reserve, established in 1973 to protect 2230 hectares of Alpine ecosystems and wildlife.
A wide trail leads to the lake from the Saut parking area, making it accessible for families and offering multiple photo opportunities.
The clear waters of the lake mirror the surrounding peaks while marmots frequently appear along the shoreline among the Alpine flowers.
