    Lake Vercoche

    Translated by Google •

      August 16, 2023

      The Vercoche barrage was built in 1953. Even if it is very low, because it does not reach a height of 2 m, it contains a basin of over 965,000 m3 of water (represented by Lake Vercoche together with Lake Piana, connected to each other) . The significant capacity is given by the considerable depth of Lake Vercoche which, in the centre, reaches 28 metres. The waters of the Vercoche and Piana lakes, released in the winter period in the bed of the Legna torrent, are then withdrawn, with those released from the Miserin lake with the intake work of the Hône 2 plant, on the torrent at an altitude of 1,140 m asl. The most suitable months to go to the barrier are those between May and October.

        one of the most beautiful lakes in the Aosta Valley, both for its position and for the rocky bottom which makes the water very beautiful to see
