Hiking
Lago di Poschiavo is a lake in the Puschlav valley in southern Graubünden.
It was dammed by a prehistoric landslide. There is no artificial dam, only a water intake at the southern end to regulate the outflow. Most of the water flows in the tunnel to Monte Scala (937 m above sea level) and from there to the Campocologno power plant, the rest of the water takes the natural route through the Poschiavino river. The total water content is around 120 million m³, of which 15 million m³ are used to generate electricity.
