Barrage de Moiry, Arch dam in Val d'Anniviers, Switzerland.
The Moiry Dam rises 148 meters high in the Swiss Alps, forming a substantial reservoir that captures water from mountain streams and glacial melt.
Engineers completed the construction of this concrete structure between 1954 and 1958 as part of Switzerland's hydroelectric development program.
The dam represents Switzerland's commitment to hydroelectric power generation, demonstrating the nation's approach to energy independence through infrastructure projects.
Visitors can access viewing platforms at the dam throughout summer and autumn, with parking facilities available near the structure.
The dam's curved design distributes water pressure across its entire structure, making it particularly suitable for narrow valleys in alpine regions.
