Lac d'Oô

Lac d'Oô, located in the French Pyrenees, is a natural gem set in the Oô valley. This 42-hectare reservoir lies at an altitude of 1,507 metres and is surrounded by spectacular Alpine scenery.

Accessible after a hike of around 1h30 from the Granges d'Astau, the lake offers a breathtaking view of a 275-metre-high waterfall, the Cascade d'Oô, which feeds the lake with its crystal-clear waters. This picturesque setting is ideal for hiking, photography and nature lovers. In summer, the surrounding meadows are adorned with wild flowers, while the snow-capped mountain peaks add a majestic touch to the panorama.

Lac d'Oô is also a starting point for longer, more challenging hikes, leading to nearby lakes such as Lac d'Espingo, Lac du Portillon or Lac Saussat, and the surrounding peaks. Wildlife enthusiasts will be able to spot marmots, isards and a variety of mountain birds.

The site is also rich in local history and legends, adding a cultural dimension to its natural beauty. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or just a nature lover, Lac d'Oô offers an unforgettable experience, marked by the tranquillity and grandeur of the Pyrenean landscapes.
