The Plan d’Amont Dam

Built at the end of the Second World War to meet the country´s energy needs, its clear waters cover a valley formerly used for agropastoralism. With the Plan d’Aval Dam, it was originally conceived as a set of three dams which should have flooded the valley of Fond d´Aussois. The construction of the two dams required the creation of a quarry for extracting materials, which has now been turned into the car park. These sites contain a vast underground network of water pipes.
