At an altitude of 1557m, discover Lake Saint-Guérin in Arêches-Beaufort with a beautiful view of the mountain pastures. A comfortable, family-friendly walk awaits you. An unusual and wild setting for a breath of fresh air!

The site of Saint Guérin refers to the patron saint of flocks. Before the dam was built, mountain pastures occupied a large part of this territory. There are still many of them all around, as far as the Cormet d'Arêches.
A Savoyard Discovery Walk runs along the right bank of the lake (accessible to accompanied people with reduced mobility) to a Himalayan footbridge and continues along the lakeshore. Crossing the Saint-Guérin dam by car is prohibited.
Its water surface area is 50 ha and its depth is 70 m for a capacity of 13 million m3.
Its thin vault-shaped structure measures 250 m in length.
It receives the equivalent of twice its storage capacity each year.
