What to do and see around Lac de Pannecière

Nestled in the heart of the Morvan Regional Nature Park, in the Nièvre (58), Lac de Pannecière is the largest lake in the Morvan at 520 hectares, held back by an imposing dam almost 50 metres high built to regulate the flow of the Seine. Wilder and less well known than its neighbours, this vast lake with wooded shores offers a peaceful setting ideal for gentle water activities. From our Montigny-en-Morvan station, paddle board rental on Lac de Pannecière and kayak rental in the Morvan let you discover the coves and shores at your own pace, with no constraints. Calm water, Morvan panoramas and unspoilt nature: everything is there for a break on the water.

The largest lake in the Morvan

With its calm water and many coves, Lac de Pannecière is wonderful for paddleboarding and kayaking. From the station, you follow the shores and enjoy a unique view of the lake.

The Pannecière dam

On foot, cross the dam and head to the viewpoint to admire the full expanse of the lake. At the foot of the dam, an interactive model explains the role of water in regulating the Seine.

Hiking along the shores

The surroundings of the lake are criss-crossed by waymarked trails for all levels, such as the "Rives de Pannecière" circuit. The landscapes alternate between forests, valleys and open views over the water.

Cycling in the Morvan

Many cycling routes surround the lake, including the "route des crêtes", a circuit of about 48 km through Montigny, Chaumard and Ouroux-en-Morvan. Mountain bike, hybrid or family ride, everyone at their own pace.

Watching nature and wildlife

A prime birdwatching site, the lake is home to the osprey and the black stork, and is one of the top spots for predator fishing. From your paddle board, the silence of the shores offers a rare viewpoint.

The treasures of the Morvan

About thirty minutes away, Lac des Settons and its beaches round off the water sports on offer, while Château-Chinon is well worth a detour. A little further on, Vézelay and its basilica are UNESCO-listed.
