    Mountain biking

    The lake is 900 m long and covers an area of 15 hectares. The northwest shore is marked by a small peninsula, a sign of the advance of the landslide that created the lake. The eastern and western shores are relatively steep, while the northern and southern shores form gentle slopes.
    The lake was initially named "Lac de Chauronde"[note 1 by Léon Moret[3] in reference to the town of Chauronde where the landslide blocked the Brevon Valley. The name "Lac de Vallon" was finally defined by Bernard Dussart[2] in reference to the name of the valley, Vallon.
