Lake Goillet

Lake Goillet (, ) is an artificial mountain lake of the Pennine Alps, located close to the Breuil-Cervinia ski resort in Valtournenche, Aosta Valley, Italy.

History

The lake was formed through the construction of a dam with the purpose of creating hydroelectric energy. The dam was built thanks to the small railway that ran from above Les Perrères directly to the lake. The railway was later decommissioned, and only the tracks remain as evidence of its existence. The lake is also used for artificial snowmaking on the ski slopes.

Description

The lake has a water surface area of 0.48 km² and is located at an altitude of above sea level. Its waters feed the Marmore river.

The lake can be accessed from Plan Maison.
