Lac Verdet, Alpine lake in Jausiers, France
Lac Verdet rests at an elevation of 2503 meters within the French Alps, surrounded by mountain pastures and rocky peaks of the Ubaye Valley.
The paths around the lake have served as traditional routes for local shepherds guiding their flocks to high-altitude grazing grounds for generations.
The lake holds a central place in local hiking traditions, with residents sharing tales about mythical beings said to inhabit its waters.
The 3.7-kilometer trail to the lake starts from the parking area along the Restefond pass road and follows a former military path.
The common frog, measuring between 50 and 85 millimeters, finds sanctuary in the lake waters and contributes to the high-altitude ecosystem.
