Via Ferrata Barrage de Mauvoisin

The Grande Dixence Dam is a concrete gravity dam on the Dixence at the head of the Val d'Hérémence in the canton of Valais in Switzerland. At 285 m high, it is the tallest gravity dam in the world, fifth tallest dam overall, and the tallest dam in Europe. It is part of the Cleuson-Dixence Complex. With the primary purpose of hydroelectric power generation, the dam fuels four power stations, totaling the installed capacity to 2,069 MW, generating approximately 2,000 GWh annually, enough to power 400,000 Swiss households. The dam withholds Lac des Dix , its reservoir. With a surface area of 4 km², it is the second largest lake in Valais and the larges...

Switzerland 2018: The Haute Route (DOCUMENTARY)

Video Created By Brad Rindos

This is a video documentary detailing Crew 8's 100+ Mile, 11 Day Hike through the Alps of Switzerland. Crew 8 is a youth led venture crew from Chatham, New Jersey. In the summer of 2018, they packed their backpacks for the Haute Route. The Haute Route is a historic walking trail in Switzerland, traveling from Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn, and is used by townspeople, farmers, and merchants to get from village to village.

After completing a 126 Mile trek at Philmont in 2016, the boys suited up once again for an international trip before the senior crew members headed to college. The Switzerland idea brought about a whole new set of complexities: we would need to communicate in French and German, navigate public transport, and traverse MUCH steeper inclinations/declinations. Though a shorter trek than Philmont by distance, our crew gained more elevation than the height of Mount Everest.

As Crew 8 is youth led, youth leaders Brad Rindos and Matt Goldstein were responsible for planning routes, food, accommodations, and fundraising before departure. Once on the trail, the youth were responsible for executing plans, ensuring safety, and making decisions.

The trip was a massive success. Besides being more versed culturally, all 11 participants have grown in scout spirit, teamwork abilities, self-confidence, and friendship. They would like to thank their families for all their support.

Our Ski trip to Switzerland February 2015

Walking to the Cabane de Chanrion.

The walk is quite easy compared to some cabane walks, and takes 3-4 hours.
The total up is 600m, with no difficult paths.
There are only 3 buses a day to the Mauvoisin dam in summer.
The path over the Fenetre de Durand is easy, but going down 1500m the other side, to the village of Ollomont in Italy, is steep in places. It takes 7-8hours to walk to Ollomont, where there are buses every hour to Aosta.
The cabane de Chanrion can get quite busy in high summer so it is best to book!!!.
