Lac d'Aiguebelette, Natural lake and rowing venue in Lépin-le-Lac, France
This blue-green lake spans 5.45 square kilometers across five communes in Savoie department, reaching depths of 71 meters below surface level.
The lake formed during prehistoric glacial movements, creating a natural basin that contains seven thermal springs and two inhabited islands.
Local communities organize traditional Savoyard festivals near the lake, where residents prepare regional mountain dishes and demonstrate ancestral crafts.
The lake connects to major transportation networks, with the Saint-André-le-Gaz to Chambéry railway line providing direct access to waterfront activities.
Regulations prohibit motorized boats on the water, preserving the natural environment and making this lake particularly suitable for rowing competitions.

The lakes of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes showcase remarkable geological diversity. The natural glacial lakes such as Bourget and Annecy contrast with the deep volcanic lakes of Pavin and Bouchet. The artificial lakes of Serre-Ponçon and Monteynard complete this hydrographic network. This region includes high-altitude lakes in the Alps and the Massif Central, plains water bodies, and hydropower dam reservoirs.
