Punt dal Gall Dam, Arch dam at Italy-Switzerland border, Grisons

The Punt dal Gall Dam stretches 540 meters across the Livigno valley, reaching a height of 130 meters above the Spöl River and Ova dal Gall.

The Engadiner Kraftwerke AG constructed this substantial hydroelectric infrastructure between 1965 and 1968, marking a period of alpine engineering advancement.

The dam's name originates from a former bridge over the Gall stream, reflecting the local Rhaeto-Romance language heritage of the Grisons region.

Visitors must pay a toll to cross the Munt La Schera Tunnel at the dam's crown, which connects the Italian town of Livigno with the Swiss Engadin valley.

The structure creates Lago di Livigno, a 12-kilometer reservoir holding 165 million cubic meters of water, primarily situated on Italian territory within the Livigno Alps.
