From the pristine lake in narrow zigzag turns up to the Col du Bec d'Aigle. Highest point: the Col du Sarshlau, which offers little space between two mountain peaks. Steeply downhill, the destination is already in sight: the Mauvoisin reservoir, which, at 250 metres, boasts the highest arch dam in Europe.
