Lago di Vogorno, Reservoir in Ticino, Switzerland.
The Lago di Vogorno reservoir stretches across 1.68 square kilometers, reaching a maximum depth of 204 meters in the Swiss Alps.
The construction of the Verzasca Dam between 1961 and 1965 led to the formation of Lago di Vogorno, transforming the Verzasca River valley.
The reservoir serves as a central water management system for the Ticino region while supporting local agricultural and recreational activities.
Visitors can access the reservoir through multiple entry points near Tenero, with parking facilities available at the Verzasca Dam observation deck.
The reservoir contains 105 million cubic meters of water and maintains a constant elevation of 470 meters above sea level.
