Emosson Dam(Green)
9km /-200m.
The route starts in the car park at the Emosson Barrage. The route descends passed the dinosaur statue on the tarmac road, before heading along the Emosson dam and continuing around the reservoir, before climbing towards the old barrage. The route is on a tarmac road throughout, but is quite steep in places.
Unfortunately there are steps to climb up to the old dam, but if you are able to climb half a dozen steps you will be able to reach higher than is described here.
A beautiful, peaceful day out with amazing scenery.
