La diga, che sostiene il Lago Benedetto a quota 1929 metri, fu costruita tra il 1935 e il 1940 dall\u2019Impresa Salci di Milano, una consociata del gruppo Edison. Venne cos\u00ec sommerso il vasto pianoro erboso, residuo di un antico lago di origine glaciale.
\nLa diga a gravit\u00e0 che sostiene il lago \u00e8 realizzata in calcestruzzo; rivestita con tonalite \u2013 la tipica roccia del luogo -, \u00e8 alta 31 metri e lunga 322 al coronamento. Il lago ha una profondit\u00e0 massima di 46 metri e una capacit\u00e0 a pieno regime di oltre 7,5 milioni di metri cubi. Successivamente, in questo lago vennero convogliate le acque raccolte dalla presa del Pisgana attraverso una galleria lunga 8480 metri nella quale confluiscono anche le acque delle prese delle valli Seria, Salimmo, dei Buoi e Incavate.
\nLa costruzione richiese cinque anni di lavoro, dal 1948 al 1952. Nella parte a monte del lago si getta la pittoresca cascata, che precipita dalla soprastante spianata di Malga Lavedole. Questa cascata, come quella che scende sul versante opposto, , durante la stagione invernale offre interessanti vie di arrampicata su ghiaccio.
\nPrima della realizzazione dell\u2019invaso artificiale i pastori che frequentavano gi\u00e0 dalla fine del 1400 il territorio, lo indicavano come luogo paludoso chiamandolo \u201cPiano del Lastro\u201d. Tutta questa estesa area pascoliva veniva utilizzata dai pastori del Comune di Mu (ora Edolo), , perch\u00e9 fin dai tempi antichi il territorio amministrativo di Edolo si incunea nella Val d\u2019Avio fino ai piedi dell\u2019Adamello.<\/p>\n","modified":"2021-07-06T09:01:58","color":"","icon":"","noDetails":false,"noInteraction":false,"zindex":"","imageGallery":[{"src":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/PDA0102_2-1024x576.jpg","id":2068,"caption":""},{"src":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/PDA0102_3-1024x576.jpg","id":2071,"caption":""}],"image":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/PDA0102-1024x576.jpg","audio":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/PDA_IT01_0102.mp3","taxonomy":{"webmapp_category":[11]},"accessibility":{"mobility":{"check":false,"description":"","level":"accessible_independently"},"hearing":{"check":false,"description":"","level":"accessible_independently"},"vision":{"check":false,"description":"","level":"accessible_independently"},"cognitive":{"check":false,"description":"","level":"accessible_independently"},"food":{"check":false,"description":""}},"reachability":{"by_bike":{"check":false,"description":""},"on_foot":{"check":false,"description":""},"by_car":{"check":false,"description":""},"by_public_transportation":{"check":false,"description":""}},"locale":"it","source":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poi\/2488","wp_edit":"http:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=2488&action=edit","translations":{"en":{"id":3265,"name":"PDA0102 Lago Benedetto","web":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/\/pda0102-lago-benedetto\/?lang=en","source":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poi\/3265","description":"
The Lake Benedetto dam, at an altitude of 1929 metres, was built from 1935 to 1940 by Milan-based firm Salci, a subsidiary of the Edison group. This meant flooding the vast grassy plateau on which the remains of an ancient glacial origin lake were still visible.
\nThe gravity dam which holds up the lake was built in reinforced concrete lined with tonalite. It is 31 metres high and 332 metres long at its crown. The lake\u2019s maximum depth is 46 metres and, at full capacity, it holds over 7.5 cubic metres of water. Subsequently the waters gathered by the Pisgana water intake collect in this lake via a 8480 metre long tunnel into which water from uptakes in the Seria, Salimmo, dei Buoi and Incavate valleys also flows.
\nBuilding took five years, from 1948 to 1952. A picturesque waterfall plunges down from the Malga Lavedole plateau above the lake. This waterfall, like that on the opposite side, just a short distance from the Dosso Lavedole upper cable car station, offers interesting ice climbing routes in winter.
\nBefore the artificial lake was created shepherds who had been coming to the area since the late 15th century referred to it as a marshy site, calling it \u2018Lastro plateau\u2019. All of this expanse of meadow land was used by the shepherds of the town of Mu (now Edolo) because the Edolo town jurisdiction has historically wound through the Avio valley to the foot of Mount Adamello.<\/p>\n","audio":"https:\/\/a.webmapp.it\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/media\/audios\/2488_en.mp3"},"de":{"id":2752,"name":"PDA0102 Lago Benedetto","web":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/\/pda0102-lago-benedetto\/?lang=de","source":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poi\/2752","description":"
Der Damm, der den Lago Benedetto in einer H\u00f6he von 1929 Metern st\u00fctzt, wurde zwischen 1935 und 1940 von der Firma Salci aus Mailand, einer Tochtergesellschaft des Edison-Konzerns, gebaut. Das weite grasbewachsene Plateau, die \u00dcberreste eines alten Sees eiszeitlichen Ursprungs, wurde so \u00fcberflutet.
\nDie Gewichtsstaumauer, die den See st\u00fctzt, besteht aus Beton; sie ist mit Tonalit ausgekleidet, 31 Meter hoch und am Scheitelpunkt 322 Meter lang. Der See hat eine maximale Tiefe von 46 Metern und ein volles Fassungsverm\u00f6gen von \u00fcber 7,5 Millionen Kubikmetern. Anschlie\u00dfend wurde das Wasser aus der Pisgana-Entnahmestelle durch einen 8480 Meter langen Tunnel in diesen See geleitet, in den auch das Wasser aus den Entnahmestellen der T\u00e4ler Seria, Salimmo, Buoi und Incavate flie\u00dft.
\nDer Bau erforderte f\u00fcnf Jahre Arbeit, von 1948 bis 1952. Im stromaufw\u00e4rts gelegenen Teil des Sees befindet sich der malerische Wasserfall, der aus dem dar\u00fcber liegenden Fl\u00e4che der Malga Lavedole f\u00e4llt. Dieser Wasserfall, wie auch der Wasserfall auf der gegen\u00fcberliegenden Seite, nicht weit von der Ankunft der Seilbahn von Dosso Lavedole, bietet w\u00e4hrend der Wintersaison interessante Eiskletterrouten.
\nUnter den Hirten, die diesen sumpfigen Ort schon seit Ende 1400 bewohnten, war die Gegend mit dem Namen \u201ePiano del Lastro\u201c bekannt. Bis zur Errichtung des Stausees wurden die weitl\u00e4ufigen Weiden von den Hirten der Gemeinde Mu (heute Edolo) genutzt, denn schon in der Antike erstreckte sich das Verwaltungsgebiet von Edolo bis ins Avio-Tal und zum Fu\u00dfe des Adamello.<\/p>\n","audio":"https:\/\/a.webmapp.it\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/media\/audios\/2488_de.mp3"}},"web":"https:\/\/stelvio.wp.webmapp.it\/poi\/pda0102-lago-benedetto\/","addr:street":"","addr:housenumber":"","addr:postcode":"","addr:city":"","contact:phone":"","contact:email":"","opening_hours":"","capacity":"","ele":1929},"geometry":{"type":"Point","coordinates":[10.46766,46.189781]}}
