Nestled at 2,505 meters, Lake Marlou is a splendid mountain biking destination departing from the Arc 2000 resort or the Col de la Chal. The site is a wonderful place to take a break.

View of the Plan de l'Homme lake

No marked mountain bike route passes by the lake itself, but the Lake District passes above, allowing for a view from a height. Descending there will require some technical skill.
