This tunnel is a magnificent piece of Italian architecture. Coming from Passo Pura, it leads you in serpentine lines directly to the dam. As soon as you enter it, which is completely illuminated with warm yellow light, you start to feel a little scary because you soon no longer know your way around the serpentine curves. The tunnel exit leads directly to the dam and offers you a breathtaking view of the dam, reservoir and the mountain landscape.

One of many tunnels between Ampezzo and Staudam. Lights are recommended here, as cars and motorcycles are also on the road, and the tunnels are dark!
