The Corlo lake dam blocks the Cismon stream which flows towards the Brenta river.

Dam immersed in the narrow gorge of the Cismon torrent, completed in 1953. Crossable, cycle/pedestrian. Pleasant walk with a view and the peculiarity of ending right inside a small tunnel in the rock, which then connects to the road to Corlo, very steep!

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.

The Corlo dam (which takes its name from the village above) was built in the years 1951-53 to dam the Cismon stream and form the artificial lake, for hydroelectric use. The area occupied today by the basin was once known as the 'Ligònt plain': a fertile area, almost entirely cultivated with corn cobs and tobacco, with several inhabited hamlets. With the construction of the dam, many towns were forcibly abandoned, demolished and submerged; others, on the eastern side, found themselves isolated from the world and soon depopulated too. This civil engineering work amazes for its dizzying height of 71m, for the construction expertise thanks to which it slips into the mountain and for the view of the very narrow Cismon canyon. The crown of the dam can also be explored by car: after the tunnel, a very narrow and winding asphalt road ends in Contrà Corlo. When the bulkheads are raised, the power of the waterfall coming down the discharge chute is impressive and spectacular! https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lago_del_Corlo

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.
