Description

During a pleasant walk, you will have the opportunity to soak up the beauty of this preserved natural environment while taking the time to take breaks on the benches along the route of this true haven of peace.

The 1st lake, classified category 1 and intended for fishing, is full of fish and wild birds that you can observe up close
being careful not to disturb them while feeding them.

The 2nd lake, reserved for swimming and paddle boarding in summer, also offers a setting conducive to relaxation, allowing you to enjoy moments of absolute relaxation. Outside of this period, fishing is authorized in category 2.

The 3rd lake, dedicated to windsurfing and walking, offers an introductory experience to discover the local fauna and flora, complete with an observatory allowing you to explore this preserved environment more closely.
Authorized for fishing on the northern part, in category 2.

History, culture and heritage

These lakes were created in 1977:
In 1976 a meeting was held between Sallanches and Saint-Martin for the development of the Ilettes. This area located in the territory of Sallanches but bordering on the commune of Saint-Martin could only be developed by a joint agreement of the two communes.
In 1977, the development of Les Ilettes helped with the merger of St Martin and Sallanches.
For the construction of the future white highway, this area will be reserved for the extraction of materials.
Two other large lakes will be exposed and subsequently developed into tourist sites.
