Lac des Dix
High-altitude reservoir in Val d’Anniviers, Switzerland, framed by glaciers and peaks, known for its turquoise water and the towering Grande Dixence Dam.
Large reservoir in the Val d’Anniviers region of Switzerland, created by the Grande Dixence Dam — one of the tallest dams in the world. The lake sits at high altitude, surrounded by rugged alpine peaks, glaciers, and steep valleys. Its striking turquoise water contrasts dramatically with the surrounding grey rock, making it a favorite spot for hikers, climbers, and photographers. Trails around the lake provide access to scenic viewpoints, and the dam itself is an impressive engineering landmark.
