Hiking

The Place Moulin dam is a dam in Italy. It stands in a side valley of the Aosta Valley northeast of Aosta in the municipality of Bionaz and there dams the Buthier, a tributary of the Dora Baltea, with an arch dam to form a reservoir. The dam, which was built from 1955 to 1965, was at that time one of the largest dams in the world with a height of 155 m.
