Here you will have the view of the dam. If the inhabitants of Geneva have electricity, even during peak consumption, it is thanks to the Verbois dam! This site produces 15% of the canton's consumption, which does not prevent it from being exploited in such a way as to preserve the fauna and flora that surround it. (source: ww2.sig-ge.ch)

Prepare to go with your bike directly over the dam from where you will have a view of the Rhône. If the inhabitants of Geneva have electricity, even during peak consumption, it is thanks to the Verbois dam!
