Moiry Barrage
WELCOME TO THE VAL DE MOIRY
The Moiry dam and its surroundings are only accessible in summer, when weather conditions allow the road to be opened.
However, once the snow has melted and the weather is fine, it's possible to get there by bike or on foot via the road linking the village of Grimentz to the dam. As this road is very busy throughout the summer season, we recommend that you take the postal bus to get there, so that you can pedal with greater peace of mind as soon as you arrive.
And once you've reached the summit at 2500 metres, you'll find
The arrival point of the Via Ferrata, the dam restaurant, and you'll discover the Val de Moiry with its breathtaking views of the lake, its wild scenery and, further upstream, its glistening glacier, the starting point of several hikes for well-trained sportsmen and women.
Moiry via ferrata
Can be used from mid-June to the end of October, depending on weather conditions.
Access by private vehicle depends on the closure of the road to the Moiry dam.
Outside these periods, access is possible on foot, approximately 1h30 walk from the village of Grimentz.

FROM GRIMENTZ TO ZINAL
The special feature of this destination is that it brings together two mountain sides, one by its village and the other by a summit, with the finish close to the Corne de Sorebois (2441m).

We look forward to welcoming you to both slopes, thanks to the Grimentz / Zinal lifts.
