The wall at the end is quite something! But the dam is 100% worth it. You can also continue a bit after the dam, to have a view on the glacier.

Beautiful climb to arguably the most beautiful of all dams in Valais. The final section from Grimentz is especially tough. Especially cycle past the dam, because only then can you see how beautiful the lake is. At the end of the tarmac you will also find a drinking facility.

Prachtige klim naar allicht de mooiste van alle dammen in Wallis. Vooral het slotgedeelte vanaf Grimentz is erg zwaar. Fiets vooral voorbij de stuwdam, want pas dan zie je hoe mooi het meer is. Bij het einde van het asfalt vind je bovendien nog een drinkgelegenheid.

A very nice climb, quite some people but they keep their distance, a very good road.
But for the icing on the cake I rode on to the Moiry dam.
With a spicy end it took some teeth to get there.

een zeer mooi beklimming, redelijk wat volk maar ze houden mooi afstand, een zeer goeie weg.
maar voor de kers op de taart heb ik door gereden naar de stuwdam de Moiry.
met een pittig einde was et toch tandjes bijten om er te geraken.
