    Hiking

    Lac d'Emosson is the second largest reservoir in Switzerland after Lac des Dix (Grande Dixence). The 180m high arch dam holds a secret that is revealed every spring when the water level is low. There is a dam in the reservoir from the 1920s: the SBB Barberine dam.

    To get to Lac d'Emosson, you can either drive 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 adventure 👌🏻
