Parks & Nature
As soon as the good weather starts this is one of my favorite places. There is a sandy beach or grass and you can swim in the lake. Take a picnic or you can choose from 2 huts that sell food and drink. There are bbq pits for summer evenings but get there early enough to grab one. Great place with kids.

In the summer / spring and autumn you can take the trail at the top of the route des montquarts and walk up to the hut - buvette du glacier and have lunch or a drink underneath the glacier.

July and August there is a chairlift at the top of the road. If you are fit you can continue up to Les pyramides or even la Jonction - a difficult hike not for the faint hearted but amazing views and a unique site of the junction between 2 glaciers.
