Puy de Dôme and Auvergne lakes

Do you like lakes? You are in the right place ! The Puy de Dôme and Auvergne lakes around the campsite alone would be worth the detour.

Some are suitable for swimming with their Blue Flag labeled beaches, such as:

The nautical base of Lac d'Aydat (4 km) with supervised swimming in July and August,
The Lac de Chambon (15 km), with a nautical base and supervised swimming in summer and a beautiful view of the Sancy massif!
The Gour de Tazenat (60 km) with authorized but unsupervised swimming!

Fancy a short walk or a picnic by the lake with the family? Discover the sublime Lac Servières (10min from the campsite), an old volcanic maar located at an altitude of 1200m.

A little further and just as beautiful with its view of the Monts Dore, Lac de Guéry (15 minutes from the campsite) is the highest in Auvergne at 1250 m.

Lac Chauvet (36 km), a former maar, can be discovered during a beautiful hike on the heights of Cézallier.

Without forgetting its "brother" the unmissable Lac Pavin , also a volcanic maar, is the youngest volcano in Auvergne with an almost perfect circular shape. It is also the deepest in Auvergne (more than 90 m) which gives it intense blue waters!

It is possible to fish in several of these lakes, consult our fishing page to find out more.
