    Tips

    August 21, 2021

    For engineering lovers, the Teleccio (or Telessio) dam is an interesting arch-gravity dam, built in the 1950s by AEM and now owned by IREN. For all the others, a wonderful artificial lake, with a light blue color that seems fake, the starting point for several excursions, one more beautiful than the other. The road to get there is largely private, owned by IREN, but hiking traffic is allowed.

      The route is no longer accessible, the electricity company no longer even allows hikers (you risk a fine for infringement of private property)

        Dam used by an energy company for the production of electricity. The Teleccio lake is very beautiful, in a suggestive alpine environment
