Come and discover the dam facilities with us and experience first-hand the fascination of renewable hydroelectric power and its production. The excellence of Swiss engineering in the canton of Ticino! <\/p>

The Luzzone dam in the Blenio Valley, built in the 1960s, is the highest in Ticino and is known to climbers for its highest artificial wall in the world. The visit is divided into two parts. First, we enter the bowels of the dam to visit the technical installations. We then walk across the entire crown of the dam, a spectacular panorama. The visit lasts about 160 minutes. <\/p>

For an even more complete experience, it is possible to combine the visit with an e-bike tour. It is possible to reach the Luzzone dam by e-bike from Campo Blenio, Olivone or even from the Lucomagno Pass. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
