Presentation
With an air of Canadian rocky mountains, this pretty mountain lake is easily visible from the Col de l'Infernet and Croix de Chamrousse in summer, and snow-covered in winter.
Lac Achard: 1,917 meters above sea level and 1.28 hectares in surface area.

You can discover it snowshoeing in winter. We can guess the outline of a main lake in the form of small filling lakes (the exact name is Achard Lakes). In fine weather, you will have an exceptional view of the Taillefer mountain.
