This is a peaceful walk along the shores of the largest lake in our region. There is little noise in this valley, and the lake birdlife is abundant. Take the time to observe and listen to the sounds and silence of this beautiful, timeless place. A small variation will enable you to extend your hike by going up to the village of Angos, which has a pretty little chapel (12th century).
Itinerary

  • Step 1 :

    The departure point is at the Lac du Balaing car park. Take the path along the lake towards the south-east, go through the barrier and continue along the lake for 750 metres.

  • Step 2 :

    At the fork, take the track on the left. Cross a bridge and pass a car park on your left. Continue for 150 metres. Follow the lake shore and take the track that runs along the upstream dyke.

  • Step 3 :

    End of the upstream dyke. Walk along Lake Balaing for 1,000 metres before starting a gentle climb for about 300 metres. At the end of the climb, leave the track and turn left onto the dirt track that goes downhill. After 150 m, turn onto the path on the left to join the dyke, which you then follow along its entire length. At the end of the dyke, take the footbridge over the spillway.

  • Step 4 :

    When you exit the footbridge, turn left onto the tarmac road. Follow the road for 600 metres. You will arrive at the car park at the start of the walk, which is on your left.
