Nicknamed the little Canada of Haut-Bugey, this mountain lake, with its alpine firs and turquoise waters, is an ideal destination in the Ain for a bike ride. At 850 meters altitude, surrounded by conifers, this lake offers a moment of freshness on beautiful days and can be a place for ice skating in winter (skate rental at the Auberge du Lac Genin).
