Embrun Chadenas is a spot by the Serre-Ponçon lake, in the Hautes-Alpes, with its cliffs plunging into the turquoise water. It is a popular place for its beauty and reliable afternoon wind. The launch area is wide and grassy, ideal for warming up on land.
The water surface is generally flat, perfect for freeride, foil, or freestyle. However, be cautious of water level variations depending on the seasons, which change access to the water. Schools like the Club Nautique Alpin d'Embrun offer equipment and lessons on-site.
The atmosphere is cool, with nautical bases and a bar-restaurant nearby to relax after the session.
