Réserve naturelle nationale du lac Luitel
Réserve naturelle nationale du lac Luitel, National nature reserve with peat bog in Séchilienne, France.
The Lake Luitel Reserve spans 17 hectares at 1,260 meters altitude, featuring floating peat rafts and partially wooded peat bogs near Grenoble.
Established on March 15, 1961, Lake Luitel became the first national nature reserve in France, with the Col Luitel peat bog added in 1991.
The reserve serves as an environmental education center where thousands of students learn about peat bog ecosystems and rare plant species each year.
Visitors can explore the reserve via wooden boardwalks, with guided tours available from July through August, except Mondays, departing at 2:30 PM.
The black water of Lake Luitel contains carnivorous plants and sphagnum mosses that can absorb 25 times their dry weight in water.
