Walking tour of the Plan d'Aval dam

As a symbol of human impact, this reservoir offers you a real-life tour of

the local industrial heritage. Discover the life of high-altitude dams at your

own pace.

And if you keep your eyes open, you may spot some very agile yellow-billed choughs having fun above the lake. Our friends, affectionately called

"choucas" here, know how to have a good time... They'll perform an aerial

dance from Dent Parrachée to Râteau d'Aussois merely to take a good look

at you, out of sheer curiosity.

After your walk, take a break on the sunny south-facing slope, enjoying

sweeping views over Aussois village.

And, as the icing on the cake, you'll leave with a wealth of knowledge about

the scientific and industrial heritage of Haute Maurienne Vanoise. You'll

understand all the workings of hydroelectricity.
