Pierre à Bise
Pierre à Bise is a steep Lake Bourget wall dive from shore steps.
Brison-Saint-Innocent shore entry with a steep freshwater wall, variable visibility, and an advanced cold-water profile.
About Pierre à Bise
Pierre à Bise is a shore-entry Lake Bourget site in Brison-Saint-Innocent where steps lead to a steep freshwater wall and rocky pierrier that drop quickly away from the entry. The shallow shelf can be murky and slippery, so entry and exit deserve more attention than the descent itself. It is best treated as an advanced lake dive with cold-water gear, variable visibility, and seasonal closures around fish spawning.

Local Intel For Pierre à Bise
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Steep drop-off with depths exceeding 60 m makes this better suited to experienced divers.
Freediving
Not a casual freedive site. The steep wall and cold freshwater make it a specialist experienced-diver spot rather than a breath-hold visit.
Snorkeling
Not a practical snorkel site. The shallow margin drops away quickly, so the useful terrain starts below the lake edge.
