    Hiking

    Lago Ritóm is a reservoir of glacial origin and was expanded from 1917 to 1920 to create a reservoir for the SBB Ritom power plant. The 170-meter-long gravity dam was raised to a height of 23 meters and a length of 309 meters in 1950. However, due to the porous subsoil in the upper area, this height cannot be fully used.

    The lake is accessible via mountain hiking trails, a road or the very steep Ritom funicular (max. 87.8%). There is also accommodation near the dam.
