Sustainable Tourism

The wetland bordering the Lac d'Arvouin below the chalet is a sensitive and protected heritage area.
To avoid trampling and preserve this rich and fragile ecosystem (protected flora and breeding ground for aquatic fauna), please do not walk around Lac d'Arvouin and stay on the main track leading up to the chalet.

Our mountain lakes are fragile environments, and our actions have an impact on these ecosystems, so please don't swim in them (dogs included).
When you swim, you leave behind sunscreen, bacteria and organic particles that disturb the ecological balance.
