Lac Pellaud, Alpine lake in Rhêmes-Notre-Dame, Italy

Lac Pellaud sits at an elevation of 1,870 meters surrounded by larches and spruces, forming part of the Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso landscape.

The hydroelectric power station near Lac Pellaud was established in 1921 by Henri Bristin to supply electricity to Pont, Pellaud, and Chaudanne hamlets.

The lake area features traditional mountain architecture in nearby villages like Oreiller and Bruil, along with a historic dairy and mill furnace.

Visitors can access Lac Pellaud through a marked trail starting from Chanavey hamlet, crossing a bridge and following cross-country skiing tracks.

The lower lake provides a habitat for red frogs and trout populations, while the surrounding slopes offer opportunities to observe wild ibex herds.
