Lac Saint Anne

The lake is located in a bowl at an altitude of 2415 meters, at the foot of the famous mountain peak of Font-Sancte (3385 meters), which mountain is beautifully reflected in the lac in windless weather.

It seems as if at any moment tons of debris could end up in the lake, most avalanche entrances along the cliffs are rock glaciers, mixtures of ice and boulders that slide down very slowly. Unlike the ancient moraons around the lake, which are held by the vegetation, these ice rock masses are still active and constantly moving. These rock glaciers are very interesting, because they show what the glacier of the Font-Sancte must have looked like a long time ago. The perfectly circular Saint-Anne lake is a textbook example of a glacier lake.
