Reservoir at Bernina Pass between the Valposchiavo and the uppermost side valley of the Engadin. The reservoir at Bernina Pass is fed by glacial milk (silt-containing glacial water). This gives the lake its milky, whitish color. The Lago Bianco is also a watershed; the water flows eastward into the Black Sea and southward into the Adriatic Sea. The famous Bernina Express of the Rhaetian Railway, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, winds along the shore.

A beautiful mountain lake. It marks the watershed between the Danube and the Black Sea and the Po and the Mediterranean. An easy road leads along both sides of the lake to the dam at the southern end, from where you can either descend into the Poschiavo valley via Alp Grüm or ascend to Sassal Mason.
