Land of the Dams - large dams in the swiss Alps
a collection of images of several large dams ( and lakes ) I visited recently in Valais, southwestern Switzerland.
they are great places to visit, hike, enjoy.
Sanetsch. Not big but a beautiful lake and landscape.
Tseuzier. Very nice
Emosson. Big lake and spectacular.
Grande Dixence. The Big One. Huge. Titanic.
Moiry. A bit smaller , but great arch and lake.
Mauvoisin. Biggest arch, my favourite. Great waterfalls.
music :
from The Firebird suite by Igor Stravinsky,
performed by the U.S.AirForce Band, 'Russian Expressions'

it's actually quite interesting question : Wikipedia in english says "construction began 1950 - Opening date 1961 " so that's indeed 11 years en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grande_Dixence_Dam but this french wikipedia page says otherwise , built from 1953 to 1961 .... fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrage_de_la_Grande-Dixence ...
