Lac de Tignes

Lac de Tignes is an artificial reservoir located in the French Alps, created by damming the Isère River. It serves multiple purposes, including hydroelectric power generation, water storage for the surrounding area, and supporting the nearby Tignes ski resort. The lake is notable for its striking turquoise color and scenic mountain backdrop. During winter, the reservoir is often covered with snow, and in summer, it offers opportunities for activities like fishing and boating. The dam and lake are integral to the region’s energy supply and contribute to the area's tourism and outdoor recreation.
