I recently visited Barrage d'Emosson, a stunning dam located in the Swiss Alps near the town of Finhaut. This impressive structure not only serves as a hydroelectric power generator but also offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the picturesque landscape. The dam is surrounded by crystal-clear waters and towering peaks, making it a perfect spot for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts. The drive to Barrage d'Emosson was an adventure in itself. The winding roads, flanked by lush greenery and dramatic cliffs, created a sense of anticipation as I approached the dam. The scenery transformed at every turn, revealing panoramic vistas that showcased the beauty of the Alps. I enjoyed the thrill of navigating the narrow mountain roads, with the occasional glimpse of wildlife adding to the excitement. One notable aspect of Barrage d'Emosson is its unpredictable weather. During my visit, the weather changed rapidly, shifting from bright sunshine to ominous clouds and even light rain. This variability created a unique atmosphere, enhancing the dam's dramatic beauty. The clouds rolling over the peaks added an element of mystery to the landscape, making each moment feel like a different scene from a painting. Despite the weather fluctuations, the experience was unforgettable, reminding me of the ever-changing nature of the mountains. Overall, my trip to Barrage d'Emosson was not just about visiting a dam; it was a journey through stunning landscapes and a reminder of the natural beauty and unpredictability of the alpine environment.

Le barrage d’Emosson est une vraie prouesse du génie civil. Situé à plus de 2000 mètres d’altitude, il constitue une vraie attraction touristique avec une vue imprenable sur le massif du mont blanc. C’est la 3eme fois que je le visite et je peux vous assurer qu’on ne s’en lasse jamais, surtout pour les amoureux de mère nature. Cette dernière visite à été pour moi, en tant que photographe, une vraie chance car le barrage est presque plein et le beau temps était au rendez-vous. Ce qui m’a permis de tirer des clichés magnifiques et que je partage avec vous, avec le plus grand plaisir.

Wonderful high altitude dam. You can walk across and around the lake but depending on the time of year the road may be still covered in snow. You can drive up or take the funicular.

Very cool just for its scale. Also beautiful views looking back as you climb up away from the lake.

Joli point de vue et belles balades depuis le barage, pour ce premier jour d'ouverture de la route nous avons trouvé le lac du barage très bas !!
