Description

The Verzasca valley dam was begun in 1960 and completed in 1965, it is 220m high and 380m wide.

During the winter of 2021/2 the artificial lake was drained to allow for overhaul works. The volume of water removed is approximately 85 million cubic meters.

Thus the places where people lived re-emerge. The old road at the bottom of the valley is still visible, in an environment that has become "lunar".

The launch scene in Agent 007 GoldenEye (1995) was filmed on the dam.
