Homme de Pierre Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Be careful, this must-see is only worth it for its cairn and the view behind it. Otherwise, in the surroundings, it's all that you don't like during a mountain hike: 2 telecom pylons and their management cabins, 2 arrivals of ski lifts as well as to top it all off an altitude refreshment bar whose terrace crumbles.

Lake Peyrol

Highlight • Lake

Created in 2001, this reserve with a capacity of 65000m³ of water has for main objective the manufacture of artificial snow, it allows to snow access Vars-Risoul. Many trout have taken up residence there.
A second hill reserve was inaugurated in 2010 and is located at the top of the Chabrières cable car.
The Lac de Peyrol was landscaped and today is a perfect place to picnic and stroll while having a breathtaking view of the Ecrins.
