Gérardmer Lake, Glacial lake in Vosges, France

Lake Gérardmer extends across 115 hectares at an altitude of 660 meters, reaching depths of 38 meters in the Vosges mountains.

The lake formed through extensive glacial activity during the last ice age, carving out a natural basin in the mountainous terrain.

The lake serves as a central point for regional water sports competitions and local celebrations throughout summer months in the Vosges region.

A marked 6-kilometer trail circles the entire lake, with supervised swimming areas operating at Union Nautique beach between June and September.

The water body maintains a constant temperature of 4 degrees Celsius at its lowest depths, creating specific conditions for particular fish species.
