- The Grande Dixence in the Val d'Hérens is the biggest gravity dam in the world. This massive dam in Switzerland is unrivalled with its height of 285 metres. The Grande Dixence, built from 1951-65, is a structure of incredible proportions. 200 metres thick at the base, 695 metres long and 285 metres high, six million cubic metres of concrete were needed to build it. The large reservoir holds 400 million cubic metres of water and collects the meltwater from 35 Valais glaciers, which is fed through 100 kilometres of tunnels.
The Grande Dixence can be visited and is the starting point for beautiful mountain hikes. A cable car runs from the car park and bus terminus up to the top of the Grande Dixence wall. The panoramic view of the Valais mountains and across the long lake is impressive.
Enjoy the beautiful views of Grande Dixence and Lac des Dix on a sunny day in 4K video resolution. Only video, music and nature sounds.

I was very surprised by this huge dam. It is 695m long and took 65 years to construct... Thank you for uploading this very valuable video. Civil engineering works such as tunnels and dams in Switzerland are amazing.
Thank you for watching and your great comment! Grande Dixence is really a very impressing design. We have many of such dam in Switzerland because we cover approx. 60% of energy consumption with hydropower.
Hoi Martin, danke fürs Video. Hat schöne Erinnerungen hervorgerufen. Im 8. Schuljahr sind wir mit der Schule von Sion den ganze Tag mit dem Velo hochgefahren und dann in 40min runtergesaust. Leider hatte ich keine Zeit mehr den See zu sehen, da wir zum Abendessen runter gehen mussten. LG Benjamin
Hoi Benjamin! Das war sicher eine rasante Abfahrt mit dem Velo von da oben 😉 Danke für's verbeischauen! LG Martin
I like damp
Amazing 🙂
Thanks 😃
Very impressive...Many congratulations...Very good job!!!👍🤗
Ein gewaltiges und beeindruckendes Bauwerk! Schöne Aufnahmen!
Vielen Dank! Ja, dieser "Betonklotz" ist imposant aber auch hässlich/schön auf seine Art.
Beeindruckendes Video. Die Staumauer ist ja noch gigantischer als die aus dem 007 Film "Goldeneye" gesehene Mauer aus dem Verzascatal.
Ja, diese Staumauer ist vieeeeel grösser als die im Verzascatal :-) Vielen Dank für den Besuch!
Die Grand Dixence ist die höchste Staumauer Europas. Bis 1980 war sie sogar die höchste der Welt. Unterdessen gibt es in China, Tadschikistan und Iran noch 9 höhere (wobei 4 davon sich noch im Bau befinden).
Hoi Martin! Wow it must be a gigantic project in Switzerland. Amazing! The name Grande Dixence sounds unique :) I thought the Verzasca Dam is the biggest one. Btw, I see someone do the zipline! Looks very thrilling 😊
Is the water in the lake used as the centre of hydropower and energy storage for Switzerland? Danke für das tolle Video! Es freut mich sehr, wieder etwas Neues von Switzerland zu erfahren 😊 Villi liebi Grüess us sunnige Indonésie 👋
Hoi Dina! This one is really bigger than Verzasca dam 😉 It's the biggest wheight dam in the world 😃 The water is also collected here from the Zermatt region and used to produce electricity. Es freut mich Dir immer wieder neue Orte in der Schweiz zeigen zu können! Vili liebi Grüess us de stürmische, jetzt aber wider schöne Schwiiz 🍂 🌞
