Espinasses is a village in the Hautes-Alpes, set amid hills and valleys that open out towards Lake Serre-Ponçon. The village and surrounding hamlets have a rural setting, among mountain roads, wooded slopes and open views. It suits travellers looking for outdoor activities and wishing to explore the area around the lake without staying in a large resort.

Lake Serre-Ponçon shapes excursions in the region: its shores offer scenic views and water activities in season. The Gorges de la Blanche offer a different, narrower landscape to explore on a walk or an outing in nature. The Demoiselles Coiffées, unusual rock formations, are a local geological curiosity. The Muséoscope du lac and the Maison de l'Eau et des Énergies provide insight into the area and its development. Chorges train station makes rail access easier, while Gap is another important stop nearby. A car is useful for travelling between sites and exploring the valleys.

In fine weather, you can go hiking, cycling, fishing and enjoy activities on the lake; more visitors come to its shores in summer. Spring and autumn bring milder temperatures, making them well suited to walks and cultural visits. In winter, the surrounding mountains offer opportunities for snow-related outings, depending on conditions. You can spend a day taking in the scenery around Serre-Ponçon, then plan a walk in the gorges or a visit about the lake’s history.
