Lake of Beauregard, Artificial reservoir in Valgrisenche, Italy

The Lake of Beauregard extends over 4 kilometers in length at an altitude of 1,700 meters within the Aosta Valley mountains.

Constructed in 1957, the dam required the evacuation of seven hamlets including Sevey, Beauregard, and Suplun, which were subsequently submerged.

The dam structure has become part of the local identity, fundamentally changing the valley's appearance and the community's relationship with the landscape.

The reservoir currently operates at reduced capacity, holding 6.8 million cubic meters of water instead of the planned 70 million due to terrain instability.

The 132-meter-high arch dam features a climbing wall on its surface, attracting climbers despite its reduced water storage functionality.
