Mountaineering
The Lac d'Emosson is the second largest reservoir in Switzerland after the Lac des Dix (Grande Dixence). The 180m high arch dam keeps a secret that comes to light every spring when the water is low. There is already a dam wall in the reservoir from the 1920s. The SBB Barberine dam.
To get to Lac d'Emosson, you can either go up by car or bus, or you can take a combination of three cable cars from the valley of "Le Châtelard" to the dam. Pure experience 👌🏻
