The tour of the lake of Embrun

A beautiful and easy walk around the Embrun water level

The Embrun lake is located right next to the Serre-Ponçon lake and the Durance river. It is the result of the municipality's desire to develop tourism in Embrun. A pedestrian path of 2.6 km goes around the lake, it is very easy to access, there is a huge parking lot next to the leisure center. For those who wish, you can rent a canoe, a paddle board or a dinghy to navigate on the water. Don't miss this beautiful ride if you are in the area.

After a few meters you arrive directly on the beach. It is very crowded in summer, the beach is free.

People sit on the path to enjoy the sun. Swimming is not allowed outside the recreation area at the beginning of the lake.

We observe a very beautiful difference of color between the water of the lake and the water of the lake of Serre-Ponçon

The return

The return to the beginning of the lake is much less interesting, the path is straight and there is almost no shade.

We return by walking on the dam which separates the water level from the Durance. Still different shades of blue!

The recreation area

We return towards the beaches. You can continue the stroll towards the old city of Embrun, it is preferable to take the car because there are 3 km between the city and the water level.
