Lac de Tuéda

A high-altitude lake in the nature reserve at the end of the Méribel valley, reflecting Mont Vallon and surrounded by rare Swiss stone pine forests.

Lac de Tuéda sits in the Tuéda Nature Reserve at about 1,700 meters. When the water is calm, the lake fully reflects Mont Vallon at 2,952 meters, and there are small wooden lakeside restaurants. The reserve has large stretches of Swiss stone pine forest, rare in Europe, as well as many alpine flowers. Summer trails are gentle, about 30 minutes' walk from Mottaret, making them suitable for families. You can keep climbing to the cirque lake and the foot of Mont Vallon. In winter there are snowshoeing and cross-country ski routes.
