Settons Lake

Highlight • Lake

If you venture to the edge of the lake you will find a magnificent footbridge, the Passerelle du Chemin du Pélerin, which crosses the lake. It's worth the detour !

While other dams have a very specific shape, designed to withstand enormous water pressures, this dam was built in a pyramid shape. The water pressure exerted on this dam is restrained by the weight of the structure itself. It has a twin dam nearby. This dam was completed in 1858 and was one of the most formidable dams of its day.
