Axe throwing at the Grande Dixence dam

Fancy trying out an activity that’s as unique as it is exhilarating in a spectacular setting? Discover axe throwing at the Grande Dixence dam: probably the highest throwing site in Europe, with a view that will take your breath away (or… hit the target!). With its four throwing lanes, this friendly activity is ideal for groups, outings with friends or corporate events. Open to those aged 14 and over, it promises precision, fun and a great time at altitude.

Accuracy and altitude: a winning combination?

To find out, you’ll have to give it a go. So head to the Grande Dixence dam.

For younger visitors (under 14s), other fun accuracy games are available next to the axe-throwing site.

The ticket office is located in the information pavilion.

Ticket check-in, equipment hire, training and the activity itself take place near the top station of the cable car.

Get to the axe-throwing site quickly via the Grande Dixence cable car. It runs every 10 minutes until the end of October. Use of the Dixence-Lac des Dix cable car is free for holders of a ‘Bûcheron’ ticket.
