THE OTHER LAKE Our first impression is that of a fjord sunk into a forest forming verdant wooded slopes. The artificial lake of Valvestino was created in 1962 by the construction of a dam: everything was submerged including the old Italian customs house (the territory belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the time). When the water level dropped, the remains of the building surfaced and became a favourite destination of photographers. In one stretch of the lake, the Val di Vesta Wilderness Area has been established, the first of its kind in Lombardy. The area was set up to protect the rich alpine flora and fauna it contains.
