One of the most beautiful lakes I've ever seen. It is the second largest lake in the Aosta Valley, surpassed only by the Place Moulin

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.
