Lago di Livigno, reservoir in the Livigno valley
Description
Lago di Livigno is a reservoir in the Alps that spans the border between Switzerland and Italy. The water is held back by dams and supplies hydroelectric plants that generate power for both countries.
History
The lake was created through dam construction in the early 20th century as part of hydroelectric projects. These dams permanently changed the landscape of the high Alpine valley.
Practical
The lake sits in a remote mountain area and is best reached by local roads that vary in accessibility depending on the season. Winter snow and ice can make access difficult, while summer and autumn offer the best visiting conditions.
