The Dora di Valgrisenche is a stream of over 26 kilometers that originates in the Vaudet basin from the slopes of the Glairetta glacier, feeding the artificial lake of Beauregard along the way. After crossing the entire valley and also being used for hydroelectric power production, the watercourse flows as a tributary into the Dora Baltea.

One of Italy's most ambitious energy engineering projects, yet never fully exploited: landslides similar to those of Vajont were detected right from the initial tests, and the capacity was limited from the planned 70 million cubic meters to just 2 million (which is why the village of Fornet, re-emerged from the lake's waters, is still visible). Due to the dam's failure to utilize its full capacity, it was lowered by 52 meters between 2011 and 2015.
