#tripaway It's a beautiful reservoir with a dam. Good for hiking. Scenic views. Spectacular lake and landscape. Do bring a windbreaker and hat. Sunscreen is recommended. Well, no matter. It's spectacular to see. The Alps in the backdrop and the flowers in the foreground make for wonderful photos. You can hike along or above the dam- and beyond, and also do some ziplining if you're inclined. Be sure to have a meal at Clem and Fabs- outstanding! #tripaway
