Lago di Livigno or Lago del Gallo is a reservoir in the Livigno valley.[1] The reservoir is mostly in Italy whereas the Punt dal Gall arch dam is crossed by the border with Switzerland (Zernez, Grisons).[1]
The reservoir's surface area is 4.71 km². It has a capacity of 164 million m³. Its minimum and maximum water levels above sea level are at 1,700 metres and 1,805 metres respectively.
The first filling began on 16 October 1968 with 50 million m³ of water.[2]
Since its construction, this reservoir had been off-limits for any activity, such as wind-surfing or rowing, until the summer of 2005, when Italy's National Rowing team was authorized to train on the lake.
