The arch dam Luzzone was completed in 1963. In the years 1997–1998, its height was increased by 17 m.[2] The dam is frequently used by the popular YouTube channel How Ridiculous to perform drop tests,[3] and a Top Gear episode showed an occupied car doing a bungee jump.[4][5]
One wall of the dam currently features the world's highest artificial climbing wall. A German manufacturer of climbing holds installed a line of over 650 artificial holds and bolts. The course covers a vertical distance of 165 meters, going from the base of the dam to the top. The climb must be done as a multi-pitch bolted sport climbing route. Furthermore, the lowest holds were placed several meters above the ground to deter casual visitors from climbing on them.
