Lac d'Émosson is a reservoir in the canton of Valais, Switzerland. It is located in the municipalities of Salvan and Finhaut. The closest small city in Switzerland is Martigny. The lake has a surface area of 3.27 km² and an elevation of 1,930 m. The maximum depth is 161 m. The purpose of the Émosson Dam is hydroelectric power generation. Water from the reservoir first powers the 189 MW Vallorcine Power Station downstream and just over the border in Vallorcine, France. Water is then sent through a headrace tunnel to the 162 MW La Bâtiaz Power Station, 12 km (7 mi) to the east in Martigny, Switzerland. The drop between the dam and La Bâtiaz Power Station is 1,400 m (4,593 ft).[1]
The first dam of Émosson (also known as Barberine Dam) was built in 1925. The current dam with a height of 180 m was constructed between 1969 and August 1973 and floods the old dam. The reservoir was fully impounded on 10 September 1975, it increased the reservoir's volume from 40 million m³ to 227 million m³.[1] The old dam can still be seen when the water level in the Lac d'Émosson is very low.
The lake will serve as the lower reservoir for the 900 MW Nant de Drance Hydropower Plant which is expected to be operational beginning in 2018.[2]
In 1955, another dam was built 300m higher above the now existing lake. This lake is now known as the Lac du Vieux Emosson.
The dam can be reached by road or by a funicular-train-funicular trip. The Chatelard funicular railway is the first used from the valley bottom, it is the steepest 2-cabin funicular railway in the world with a gradient of 87 percent.[

Le Valais suisse de Martigny à Zermatt
Deux incontournables du Valais suisse à savourer pleinement.
Tout d'abord la fondation Gianadda à Martigny. Au coeur d'un vaste domaine vous découvrirez :
- un espace d'exposition avec des oeuvres dignes des grands musées mondiaux
- un musée de l'automobile très complet avec des modèles d'exception
- dans l'immense jardin de la fondation vous admirerez le parc de sculpture, un des plus beaux d'Europe avec des oeuvres de Calder, Miró, César, Maillol....
Ensuite, en passant par le val d'Anniviers (villages de Grimetz et Saint-Luc) et le val d'Hérens (pyramides d'enseigne) vous découvrirez la station chic de Zermatt très appréciée des asiatiques.
En toile de fond, le Cervin avec son sommet en forme de pyramide est sans doute la montagne la plus photographiée au monde.
En moins d'une demi-heure le train du Gornergrat vous conduira à 3089 mètres, dans la plus haute gare ferroviaire à air libre d'Europe.
Du sommet du Gornergrat s'offre à vous l'un des plus beaux panoramas alpins d'Europe (plusieurs dizaines de sommet de plus de 4000 mètres) avec vue splendide sur le Cervin.
Profitez de ces moments de pur bonheur est un pur régal.
