Lac de Souliers, Alpine lake in Château-Ville-Vieille, France
Located at an elevation of 2492 meters, Lac de Souliers features clear waters surrounded by mountain peaks in the Hautes-Alpes region.
The lake forms part of the GR58 hiking trail network, which has connected villages across the Queyras Regional Nature Park since the 1970s.
Local shepherds continue the centuries-old tradition of bringing their flocks to graze in the meadows surrounding Lac de Souliers during summer months.
Visitors can reach the lake through a moderate hiking trail from La Casse Déserte parking area, with a 300-meter elevation gain over one hour.
The lake's circular shape and position among the mountains earned it the name 'Eye of Queyras' among regional geographic features.
