Trail along Lake Mauvoisin

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

It goes through tunnels on a trail next to the lake. After a short climb, it goes downhill and with a bombastic view of the lake! It is worth making the driveway to the lake!

Highlight • Structure

You can also access the alternative road through the tunnel, which provides interesting insights into the time of the dam's construction. You can also quickly pass by the entrance because you don't expect it... ;-)
