Belvedere overlooking the Lac de Serre-Ponçon dam

The belvedere of Sauze-du-Lac offers a unique view over the dam and over a vast expanse of the lake. At a glance, you take in the point at which the Durance valley and river to the north meet the Ubaye valley and river to the east.It is also the deepest point of the lake, down a depth of 90 metres. Downstream from the dam, you can see the Rousset overflow lake, which allows regulation of the peak flows from the EDF plant and distributes the water between the natural courses of the Durance and the EDF canal, which carries the water towards the plant in La Saulce.
