Great lakes

In summer, nothing beats messing about on the water. As temperatures rise, visitors come to cool down, sunbathe, picnic, walk, cycle, but mostly for watersports. Reflecting the alpine scenery, Isère's lakes add dazzling colour to the landscape. One of the department’s most popular treasures, our best-known great lakes are Laffrey, Paladru and Monteynard, with two dizzying Himalayan footbridges.
