It's a bit of a sporting challenge to reach this natural setting. Climb up a small forest road. After a slight uphill false flat, you reach the hard part with a ramp at 12-13％ on the banks of a stream. Don't miss out on this, because after the only hairpin on the climb, it's 10-12％ for over a kilometre and on not very good tarmac.... read more

Petit challenge sportif pour rejoindre cet écrin naturel.
Montée sur une petite route forestière.
Après du faux-plat léger montant, on arrive dans le dur avec une rampe à 12-13％ au bord d'un ruisseau. Gardez-en car après la seule épingle de la montée, c'est 10-12％ pendant plus d'un km et sur un bitume pas terrible.

I tried in vain to climb up to the lake.
Unfortunately, the road was blocked after 1.5km for forestry work. It's always a bit of a lottery on small forest roads: you set off, and suddenly a sign, or even a barrier, forbids you to climb any higher... It's a shame.
The road itself is in average condition, with some gravel: not too bad on the way up, but you have to be careful on the way down.

J'ai tenté en vain de monter jusqu'au lac.
Malheureusement, la route était barrée après 1.5km pour des travaux forestiers. C'est toujours un peu la loterie sur les petites routes forestières : vous vous engagez, et soudainement un panneau, voire une barrière, vous interdit de monter plus haut... Dommage.
La route en elle même est dans un état moyen avec quelques gravillons : pas trop gênant à la montée, mais il faut être prudent en la descendant doucement.
