    The Lac de Moiry is located in the canton of Valais in the municipality of Anniviers. The lake is embedded between the Garde de Bordon 3310 m above sea level. M., the Corne de Sorebois (2896 m above sea level) and the Sasseneire (3254 m above sea level).

    The dammed water is used to generate energy in the Gougra power plant (588 GWh per year) and in the Mottec, Vissoie and Chippis hydropower plants (Navizence).

    Hiking

    Here you can have a nice view of the whole reservoir. There are also some flatter spots where you can take a little picnic break.
