Accessible in all seasons, in winter it becomes a little paradise for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
The road continues for 6 km to the foot of the dam, at an altitude of over 2,000 m, but from November to May, it ends here and only maintenance and surveillance teams have access to the dam, exclusively by helicopter.
The hamlet consists of just a few chalets scattered along both banks of the Dixence, the torrent that rises from the Cheilon glacier above the dam. It would go completely unnoticed were it not for its small hotel-restaurant and campsite.
If you are looking for a romantic getaway in unspoilt natural surroundings, the Auberge-Restaurant-Camping du Val des Dix is the ideal choice and will leave you with unforgettable memories. A friendly welcome, comfortable rooms, delicious cuisine, attractive prices... everything you could wish for!
