The Place Moulin dam is a dam in Italy. It stands in a side valley of the Aosta Valley northeast of Aosta in the municipality of Bionaz and there dams the Buthier , a tributary of the Dora Baltea , with an arch dam to form a reservoir . The dam, which was built from 1955 to 1965, is 155 m high and is one of the largest dams on earth.

From the parking lot at the top of the dam, the Rifugio Prarayer refuge can be reached on a comfortable path after 1 hour of walking . The car park is also the starting point for the hike to the Rifugio Nacamuli al Col Collon .
