Cingino Dam, Gravity dam in Antrona Schieranco, Italy.

The Cingino Dam rises 49 meters high in the Parco Naturale dell'Alta Valle Antrona, creating a reservoir that covers 0.14 square kilometers at 2,250 meters elevation.

Constructed between 1925 and 1930, the dam forms part of five reservoirs within Valle Antrona's hydroelectric complex, supplying water to the Campliccioli Power Plant.

The dam has become a significant observation point for photographers and nature enthusiasts who gather to watch Alpine Ibex climb its vertical walls.

Located 7 kilometers southwest of Antrona Schieranco, the dam site offers viewing areas where visitors can observe both the engineering structure and wildlife behavior.

Alpine Ibex regularly scale the near-vertical dam surface to lick mineral deposits from the stones, demonstrating their extraordinary climbing abilities.
