The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
High-altitude mountain parking at 2,000m with spectacular views over the lake and dam. One main sheltered spot under a tree (levelling blocks needed), several additional spaces nearby. Access via steep, narrow road. Ideal trailhead for alpine hikes (GR5 and others). Dry toilet and picnic tables at main car park. Busy during the day with hikers, peaceful at night. No services (water, electricity) or mobile network.
Highlights
- Exceptional panoramic views over the lake and the dam
