Mountain biking

The dam wall of the Lag da Pigniu - or Panixersee - is 270 meters long and was built between 1980 and 1990. In 1999, the artist Martin Valär from the Engadin used the large concrete surface as a canvas. He painted a painting on the wall that was almost 200 meters long and around 30 meters high. The subject: the crossing of the Panixer Pass by the Russian army in October 1799. Unfortunately, the weather has taken its toll on the paint, so that the painting has now faded considerably.
