History
The lake was created in 1957 with the construction of the dam. This work became a key part of the region's hydroelectric development and has shaped the landscape ever since.
Practical
The lake sits in a high valley and is reached by a mountain road. A walk around the basin or up to the dam itself offers views across the surrounding terrain and mountain ranges.
