HOLY CROSS LAKE
This 11 km long lake is a paradise for swimmers, water sports enthusiasts and fishermen
Put in water from November 1973 to April 1975, the lake is fed by the Verdon river which takes its source at the Col d'Allos and runs for 175 kilometres, 30 of which are at the bottom of the eponymous gorges. It owes its emerald colour to micro-algae in suspension. Dedicated to hydroelectric production and irrigation, this lake, which is 11 kilometres long and about 4 kilometres wide, is also a paradise for swimmers, water sports enthusiasts and fishermen. One of the must-see places in the Gorges du Verdon and what a pleasure to swim there!
