The spectacular Senàiga Dam was built in the 1950s, creating the artificial lake of the same name and feeding, through a 6km tunnel, the Arsiè hydroelectric plant located at the head of Lake Corlo. It takes its name from the stream that flows into the Cismon River a little further downstream. The dam is vaulted, 68m high, and has two unique, majestic and winding slides that converge and force the water in a cascade toward a dissipation basin located at the base of the structure (though they are usually inactive). It appears suddenly and spectacularly after walking through a tunnel that carves out the mountain: you walk on the crest, with a beautiful view of the basin with its green waters and steep walls. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lago_del_Senaiga

Lake Corlo is crossed by three closely spaced bridges, located at the Rocca d'Arsiè constriction: the Polo Bridge, the Bassane Bridge, and the Victory Bridge. The Polo Bridge is the northernmost: a pedestrian-only bridge with an elegant iron structure (Eiffel Tower style), it offers a beautiful view of the lake, the canyon, and Rocca with its solitary bell tower.

Dam and lake tour absolutely worth doing, panoramic path suitable for everyone with a minimum of training

Lake Corlo is crossed by 3 bridges close together, at the Rocca d'Arsiè bottleneck: the Polo Bridge, the Bassane Bridge and the Vittoria Bridge. The Ponte della Vittoria (also called Ponte delle Corde) is the southernmost bridge, as well as the most evocative and characteristic: cycle-pedestrian, with a maximum capacity of 12 people (as per the sign), and consists of a wooden walkway supported by ropes metal, fixed to stone towers; although it is absolutely safe, you feel a wobble at every step and under your feet, between the cracks in the boards, you can glimpse emptiness and water! Crossing it, some might suffer from dizziness... It was built in 1928, before the artificial lake was created, to replace an old, much lower bridge, often submerged by the floods of the Cismon torrent; dedicated to the victory of the First World War.

Very impressive suspension bridge

The history of Lake Corlo (and the vicissitudes suffered by the local population) is well summarized in the Book of Silvio Lancerini (former mayor of Arsiè in the 70s) "la Valle Scomparsa" ed. The Brenta, from which a precise extract by "Magico veneto" https://magicoveneto.it/Feltrino/Arsie/Lago-di-Corlo-Rocca-di-Arsie.htm?#Diga-Corlo
