Vajont Dam

The Vajont Dam is situated in Erto, one of the towns that make up the territory of the Friulian Dolomites Natural Park.

Unfortunately, the Vajont Dam staged the tragedy caused by the landslide of Mount Toc into the artificial lake of the dam, which caused death and devastation in the underlying valley. It was October 9, 1963.

The Vajont museum was set up in remembrance of the tragedy; it can be visited at the Visitor Centre of the Friulian Dolomites Natural Park of Erto and Casso. Moreover, since 2007 the crown of the dam has been open to the public.

The visits are organized by the Friulian Dolomites Natural Park. You will have the chance to walk along the first twenty metres of the crown and to observe the impressive scenery of the landslide of Mount Toc and of the underlying valley of Longarone, swept away in one night.
