Emmosson Dam
Chamonix
Just over the boarder in Switzerland is the Emmosson dam. This dam stops water from flowing in the valley, creating a stunning lake. There are magnificent views from here and excellent hiking trails, for example to dinosaur footprints.
Ride the charming train towards Martigny and take the gondola up to the dam. Or you can drive into Switzerland and follow the signs after the border: a very pleasant and picturesque route.
