Cycling
The Coche hydraulic dam measures 33 meters high. Its large water reservoir is fed by 28 kilometers of galleries which capture the tributaries of the Isère; water supplies are particularly important during periods of snowmelt. This dam is linked to the lower Aigueblanche reservoir and the La Coche hydroelectric power station following the innovative principle of a STEP: Energy transfer station by pumping. The principle is simple: to produce electricity, water from the upstream lake (La Coche) is turbined then delivered to another lake downstream (Aigueblanche).
