The Grande Dixence Dam

Architecture & monuments

An essential and unmissable historical monument to be visited in the Valais, the Grand Dixence dam is the highest gravity dam in the world.

Commissioned in 1961, the Grande Dixence dam, with its 15 tonnes and 285 metres in height, is the largest dam in Europe. It is located in the heart of the Alps in the Val des Dix.

On site visitors can find several fun and cultural activities :

  • A zipline along the wall
  • Guided visits within the dam wall
  • A museum illustrating the dam's history
  • Free parking
  • Accessible by public transport
  • Suitable for families
