This tunnel is a magnificent piece of Italian architecture. Coming from Passo Pura, it leads you in serpentine lines directly to the dam. As soon as you enter it, which is completely illuminated with warm yellow light, you start to feel a little scary because you soon no longer know your way around the serpentine curves. The tunnel exit leads directly to the dam and offers you a breathtaking view of the dam, reservoir and the mountain landscape.

November 2, 2024,Lago di Sauris

Sauris di sopra, lago di sauris and Sauris di sotto. It was supposed to be a quick trip to go and buy cheese, instead we found the forest road completely absent due to the flooding of the streams with the consequent passage of two fords, obviously when we arrive the shop closes... We would go on foot 🤟
