Magnificent view of the Lai da Marmorera reservoir. At the western end of the dam are the ruins of Marmels Castle. The Marmorera dam was completed in 1954, so the old town of Marmorera sank in the floods. Today the lake is a popular diving area, as the remains of the flooded houses can still be seen.

Lai da Marmorera (reservoir)

The Lai da Marmorera is a reservoir in the municipality of Surses, which is operated by the Mittelbünden power plants of the Zurich city electricity company (EWZ). It can be reached from Tiefencastel or from the Engadin from the village of Silvaplana via the Julier Pass. The only village on the lake is Marmorera. Above the western end of the dam wall are the ruins of Marmels Castle.

The Marmorera (Castiletto) dam was completed in 1954. The old Marmorera was flooded after the most important buildings had been blown up. The new Marmorera was built above the reservoir and the Julier Pass road. Many residents preferred to move away for economic and emotional reasons.
