This Himalayan footbridge, which crosses Lake Verney from the north, adds a touch of spice to the tour of the lake. The views of the lake and the mountains are delightful.

Lake Verney is a 75-hectare artificial reservoir nestled between the Belledonne and Grandes Rousses mountain ranges. Near the hamlet and Boulangeard stream, the view of the lake is superb.
