The reservoir was completed in 1958. It has an arched wall with a crown length of 610 m and a height of 148 m. The closed volume is 815,000 m3, the storage volume is 78 million m3, with a surface of the lake of 140 ha and a length of 2.4 km. In conjunction with the other reservoirs in the region, the lake is used exclusively to generate electricity. (Source: Wikinger Reisen)

The magical blue Lac de Moiry is beautifully embedded between the Garde de Bordon (3,310 meters), the Corne de Sorebois (2,896 meters) and the Sasseneire (3,254 meters) in the Valais Alps. The reservoir is used to generate energy and is just beautiful to look at.
