Lake Careser is an artificial reservoir in the municipality of Peio, at an altitude of 2,603 metres. It was built in 1931 to harness for hydroelectric purposes the waters that flow down from the Careser glacier, the same one that gives its name to the peak above it.

It is formed by a concrete arch-gravity dam 58 metres high, connected to the Malga Mare power station: the head is 635 metres, harnessed by a Pelton turbine for a maximum output of 12 megawatts and an annual production of 27.7 gigawatt hours. The water leaving the power station is then conveyed, together with that of the Noce, to the Pònt power station, in Cogolo.

The lake is also a point of passage for numerous hiking routes.

Just a moment...

Gipthe bearded vulture of Valli del Noce

Hi, I am Gip. I am a bearded vulture: my species had vanished from the Alps in the 1930s, and the first one born in Trentino in at least a hundred and fifty years took flight from Val di Rabbi this past 16 July.

Ask me about places, the valleys or the people who work here. I answer with what is in our pages: if I do not know something, I will tell you.
