Located at an altitude of 6,322 feet (1,927 meters), in the north-east of the Hautes-Alpes department, about 9.3 miles (15 km) south of Briançon on the border of Briançonnais and Queyras, Lake Orceyrette is accessible by car. This small lake of residual glacial origin bordered by stone pines and larches had disappeared at the beginning of the 20th century due to the accumulation of fertile alluvium washed away by the torrents that feed it. We owe its rebirth to the construction of a dam in the 1950s.
