The Roselend dam is the 4th highest altitude dam in France. Built in the 50s and 60s, it has created a 320-hectare reservoir that is particularly popular with anglers and hikers. Nestled among alpine meadows, the lake and surrounding mountains form a magnificent landscape, offering stunning panoramic views of the Alps and Mont Blanc in particular. <\/p>\n\n
Built at an altitude of almost 1600 m, the Roselend dam impresses with its size and the vast blue expanse of its reservoir. Overlooked by massifs over 2400 m high, it enjoys a wild and beautiful setting. Family trails allow you to walk along the shoreline. A 4-hour hike around the lake is enough to stay on its shores. Numerous other hiking trails criss-cross the massifs around the reservoir, offering breathtaking views of the dam and the turquoise waters bordered by verdant mountains. Most outdoor activities take place around the lake: climbing, via ferrata, hiking and mountain biking, paragliding and horse riding. Fishing is available from the shore. The lake is classified as category 1<\/sup>. Its cold, deep waters are ideal for salmonids. To enjoy a panoramic view of the lake and a pleasant moment of relaxation, stop off at the Chalet de Roselend: on the terrace facing the landscape, or in the warm mountain decor of the dining room, you can sample local specialities or simply refresh yourself with a drink. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A lake in the heart of the Alps The Roselend dam is the 4th highest altitude dam in France.
