Bathing lake / Large parking lot in winter

About the origin of Lai Barnagn

In summer, a swimming lake with everything a bathing heart could wish for. In winter there is a large parking lot for the cable cars. This dual use of the Lai Barnagn is unique. Baltermia Peterelli, one of the initiators, tells us how this brilliant idea came about over 35 years ago.

Children splash around at the water playground, stand-up paddleboarders cruise the lake and beach volleyballs fly on the shore. Anyone who sits at Lai Barnagn in summer and enjoys the cozy atmosphere cannot imagine that there is a large parking lot here in winter with up to 700 cars lined up side by side. The water is simply drained in the fall and refilled in the spring – a miraculous transformation that has occurred every year for 35 years.

Today I would like to tell you the story of how the idea and realization of this unique and ingenious dual-use facility came about. To do this, I met with Baltermia Peterelli, former head of the Savognin building department and one of the fathers of Lai Barnagn.
