The Camper’s take

Day-use parking only for mountain hiking to Ayous and Gentau lakes. Two-tier system: lower lot (400 spaces, €5) mandatory for camper vans and motorhomes; upper lot (€6.50–8) for cars only, no vans allowed. Road closed in winter. Overnight stay and camping strictly forbidden year-round; fines enforced. Poor ground maintenance with potholes and rocks. Well-marked scenic hiking trails. Dog-friendly routes available.

Highlights

  • Picturesque, well-marked hiking trails nearby (Ayous lakes, Gentau)
  • Gentau Lake refuge with meals and lodging by reservation
  • Dogs welcome on hikes
  • Two-level parking lot with large capacity

Good to know

  • Parking strictly prohibits overnight stays, fines are systematic.
  • Terrain is damaged: potholes, rubble, no maintenance
  • Pricing considered excessive relative to services (€5–€8 for daily access)
  • Access road closed in winter; lower parking only accessible on foot

Motorhome access : Access allowed only to the lower parking (campervans and converted vans banned from upper parking). Uneven terrain with potholes and large rocks. Maneuvering possible but requires caution. Winter: pedestrian access from lower parking.
