The 220m tall Contra Dam* was build in the early 1960s and forms part of the Verzasca Hydroelectric Complex in Ticino, Southern Switzerland. This three turbine hydroelectric power plant played a starring role in GoldenEye, where James Bond is shown jumping from the top of this dam (as many bungee jumpers still do today).
