Staumauer am Tseuziersee

Lac de Tseuzier is a picturesque reservoir created by the construction of the Rawyl dam. The water of the lake is used for power generation and as drinking water. In addition, some of the water on the Suone du Ro is used for irrigating the agricultural area around Crans Montana.

The environment around the lake is very varied: you can explore waterfalls, streams, forests and an exciting variety of plants.

Nice view from the dam. And when you walk around the lake, you come to a waterfall.
