But tell me, this Saint-Guérin lake doesn't look like a small mountain lake… Why is there so much water here? How did she get there? Come as a family to find the answers to all these questions and many more, in a grandiose landscape.

Do you feel more like a drop of water floating in the current?

When you have chosen your destiny (for the day), equip yourself accordingly and set off on the journey of adventure!

If you opt to follow Guérinette the droplet, with your game bag, you will have to rack your brains a bit and show some imagination along the way.

But what are these barbaric things such as: hydroelectricity, a penstock, an impoundment? You will learn it while walking along the water reservoir.

Sensation guaranteed by crossing the Himalayan footbridge which spans the lake! it rocks a little… but it's so cool to walk above the water.
