Lago di Luzzone, Mountain reservoir in Blenio Valley, Switzerland.
The Luzzone reservoir spans 1.27 square kilometers at 1606 meters elevation, contained by a curved concrete dam in the Adula Alps.
The Luzzone Dam construction began in 1960 and reached completion in 1962, with additional height extensions completed between 1995 and 1998.
The reservoir forms a central element in the Blenio Valley landscape, connecting multiple mountain trails used by local communities throughout generations.
The reservoir access involves a 3.8-kilometer paved road from Strada Cantonale, incorporating ten hairpin turns with a 9.5 percent average gradient.
The dam wall holds a 165-meter artificial climbing route with 650 holds, making it the longest vertical artificial climbing path worldwide.
