The imposing dam is the centrepiece of power production at Kraftwerke Hinterrhein AG.
Description
The dam wall of the Valle di Lei lies on Swiss territory, while the lake is already in Italy. From the top of the wall, you have an impressive view of the eternal snow of Pizzo Stella and Piz Grisch. The Valle di Lei plant is part of the three-stage power plant group with the Ferrera, Bärenburg and Sils centres. It produces around 1,410 million kWh of electricity per year. A publicly accessible information centre of Kraftwerke Hinterrhein AG is located directly next to the Valle di Lei dam. The individual stages of the entire plant are clearly documented here. In addition, a lot of interesting information about electricity production is provided.
