    Mountain biking

    - Switzerland's tallest building. 285m
    - Was the highest dam in the world until 1980
    - The highest deadweight wall in the world to date
    - Width at the base: 200m. / Crown 15m.
    - 15 million tons = heavier than the Pyramid of Cheops

    Road cycling

    Road leading to the impressive Dixence dam, you can continue to the top, but not sure if the road bike is the most suitable....no problem, the view from here is exceptional!
