Montespluga

Built around the historic route over the Splügen Pass, Montespluga grew into a small Alpine settlement on the Italian side of this cross-border corridor. It lies beside Lago di Montespluga, an artificial reservoir at the head of the Val San Giacomo, close to the Swiss frontier. The pass links Lombardy with the Hinterrhein valley in Graubünden and has carried travellers across the Alps for centuries; its modern carriage road was built in the early 19th century under engineer Carlo Donegani. Montespluga belongs to the municipality of Madesimo and is a stop on the Via Spluga walking route, which follows this historic connection.
