[1] The dams of Campo Moro are located in Valmalenco, which is a valley in the Bernina range, a subrange of the Rhaetian Alps, approximately 150 kilometres (93 mi) north of Milan.

As this water makes its way towards the Campo Moro power plant, it goes down an average descent of approximately 133 metres (436 ft).

Inside the dam, seventy-two instruments constantly monitor temperatures, while many other devices keep structural stresses under control.

Following the construction of the Sondrio power station in 1960, the upper dam, Alpe Gera, was erected between 1961 and 1964 at an altitude of 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) a.s.l.

[7] Later projects utilized “micro-stations” to assist with the conversion of energy in areas such as Chiareggio in 1995, and on the Lanterna stream in Tornadri in 2001.

[8] [9] The Scerscen Glacier, located on the border between Switzerland and Italy, is another water resource of the Alpe Gera basin.

[2] The water used in the electricity generation unit is returned to the Campo Moro reservoir and redirected towards the Lazanda power station by an 8,000-metre (26,000 ft) tunnel.

It is the second component of the Valmalenco hydroelectric system, which derives its energy from the Alpe Gera and Campo Moro dams.

[13] The Lanzada power station is owned by Enel and has a capacity of 190.7 megawatts (MW) and can produce on average around 300 gigawatt-hours (GWh) per year, which can supply 111,000 families.

The hydroelectric power station was designed by Muzio to combine functionality and aesthetics, to integrate the structure into the surrounding mountainous landscape.

The building emerges as a grand glass portal, serving as the terminus for the entire system connected to the Campo Moro reservoir, linked to the Lanzada power station.

It is located in Italy's upper Valmalenco region, is one of the country's largest man-made reservoirs, and is placed at an altitude of over 2,051 metres (6,729 ft) a.s.l.

[18] Rifugio Poschiavino is located in Campo Moro and it is a starting point for mountain excursions in the Bernina group.
