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.

Cycling

A place of unique beauty that must be conquered with a climb of considerable difficulty (10.5% on average with several stretches in the 13% area). The lake is nestled in a bowl surrounded by majestic mountains and the water is an incredible turquoise blue.

Hiking

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