Settons Lake Dam

Highlight • Structure

While other dams have a very specific shape, designed to withstand enormous water pressures, this dam was built in a pyramid shape. The water pressure exerted on this dam is restrained by the weight of the structure itself. It has a twin dam nearby. This dam was completed in 1858 and was one of the most formidable dams of its day.

If you venture to the edge of the lake you will find a magnificent footbridge, the Passerelle du Chemin du Pélerin, which crosses the lake. It's worth the detour !
