x Closed access road Over the weekend, 5,000 m3 of rock broke away in the Grande Dixence area. In coordination with the Canton of Valais, the Municipality of Hérémence has decided to close the road between Méribé and the dam to all traffic, including cyclists and pedestrians, until further notice. The safety of the structure has never been threatened. We have been operating the dam for more than 60 years and have clear requirements from the federal authorities regarding safety and monitoring.
