Lake Serre Ponçon, nestled in the heart of the majestic Alpine mountains, is much more than just a body of water. Its history is as deep as its crystal clear waters. This artificial lake was created in the 1950s by the construction of a gigantic dam. This bold company aimed to regulate the flow of the Durance and Ubaye rivers, produce electricity and protect the region from flooding. Today, Lake Serre Ponçon is a treasure of the Alps, a harmonious mixture of preserved nature and human engineering.
