Colle de La Cayolle

Lac de la Petite Cayolle – Mercantour National Park, French Alps

 

Perched at 2,588 meters above sea level, Lac de la Petite Cayolle is a hidden alpine gem nestled in the heart of the Mercantour National Park. This glacial lake, shaped like a teardrop, lies in a dramatic rocky basin surrounded by steep mountain slopes and sparse alpine vegetation. Its crystal-clear waters reflect the ever-changing sky, creating a serene contrast with the rugged terrain.
