Tunnels and Lake Livigno
Highlight • Lake
For Livigno was born in 1968 Lago di Livigno a stroke of luck. Suddenly, the Italian alpine village was reached by a tunnel connection from Switzerland or Germany in a useful time. The inhabitants have nothing to say in terms of the lake but still today - what they still busy.
Nestled in two mountain ridges, life in Livigno, Italy was not always a lure. Until the fifties, the high valley was completely cut off from the outside world for about 6 months in winter, before the Italians decided to clear an Alpine pass in the direction of Bormio in winter, too.
In 1968, the lake came - for Livigno curse and blessing at the same time. Because with the commissioning of the 130-meter-high dam wall of the Engadine power plants, the Alpendorf had to accept the flooding of the deepest part of the municipality through the Lago di Livigno. The Munt la Schera Tunnel, which was released for private transport after the construction work, also provided for a connection to Switzerland. And so Livigno was suddenly accessible from southern Germany or Switzerland in a few hours and quickly turned into a well-known winter sports resort. The status of a duty-free zone, which Napoleon is said to have granted to the valley as early as 1805, still contributes much to economic development today.
