Parking — start of the Malpasset Dam hike
Highlight • Other
The actual parking lot is behind the motorway bridge and offers a lot of parking spaces.
As we were there in September, outside of the high season, I can't say whether there are enough parking spaces in the summer. In our case, there was still a lot of space.
A well-signposted path starts from the parking lot towards the Malpasset dam, which repeatedly leads past signs containing information about the Malpasset dam and the accident.
