A memorable climb and breathtaking experience on the Vertic'Alp funicular to discover Switzerland's second-largest dam in the Valais!
The journey
There are several ways to get to the Emosson dam, including one that's unique in the Valais.
When the Barberine dam was built in the 1920s, a funicular railway was built to facilitate the transport of equipment and workers. When the work was completed, the funicular became a tourist attraction, much to the delight of tourists wishing to explore the area around the dam!
Today, Vertic'Alp still allows you to use the same railroad line, with freshly renovated facilities. A climbing adventure not to be missed, and a unique experience to share with friends and family!
