발 데렁
Intro
발 데렁(Val d’Hérens) 계곡은 에링어(Eringer) 계곡으로도 불리는데, 지텐(Sitten) 근교 론느(Rhone) 계곡에서 덩 블랑슈(Dent Blanche), 덩 데렁(Dent d'Hérens), 몽 콜롱(Mont Collon), 몽 블랑 드 셰이옹(Mont Blanc de Cheilon) 산자락까지 뻗어나 있다. 한 세기나 된 마을에는 전형적인 가옥이 가파른 산기슭을 등지고 옹기종기 모여있다.
The gate to Val d'Hérens (Eringer Valley) is formed by the famous earth pyramids of Euseigne, steep stone towers crowned with rock boulders. Past the gate, the cauldron-like, green high-altitude valley comes into view. Framed by a superb peak crown, the mighty Dent Blanche towers over it in all its glittering glory. Val d'Hérens with its charming mountain villages such as Evolène, Les Haudères or Arolla, preserves the old Valaisian traditions.
The large dam wall of the Grande Dixence, at 285 meters the world’s highest dam wall, is located in the side valley of Val d'Hérémence. It is made up of 6 million cubic meters of concrete. At its base, it is as broad as the Cheops Pyramid and twice as high and voluminous. The dam holds 400 million cubic meters of water, producing 1600 million kilowatt hours of electricity.
