Lago Bianco is a reservoir near the Bernina Pass and lies within the municipalities of Pontresina and Poschiavo. The lake is located directly at the pass summit at 2,234 meters above sea level. Lago Bianco is bordered by two dams on its north and south sides and is approximately three kilometers long and about 800 meters wide. At its maximum depth, Lago Bianco is over 50 meters deep. The reservoir on the Bernina Pass is fed by various mountain streams and glacial water, with the Cavagliasch stream flowing through the lake the most. The whitish, somewhat milky Lago Bianco gets its name (in German, "White Lake") from the inflow of sand and glacial water. On the western shore of Lago Bianco is the Bernina Hospice (Ospizio Bernina), and the Rhaetian Railway's train line – the Bernina Express – also runs directly along the shore. The Bernina Pass road is also located on the west side, although not directly on the lakeshore. In cold winters, the lake can freeze over, and in some years, beautiful black ice forms. Once the reservoir is opened by the authorities, nothing stands in the way of ice skating on Lago Bianco. Text / Source: Schweizersee.ch https://www.schweizersee.ch/lago_bianco_pontresina/

Lago Bianco, Bernina Pass at 2234 meters The Lago Bianco is a reservoir at the Bernina Pass and is located in the area of the municipalities of Pontresina and Poschiavo. The lake is located directly at the pass at 2234 meters above sea level. The Lago Bianco is bordered by two dams on its north and south sides and is around three kilometers long and about 800m wide. When filled to its maximum, the depth of the Lago Bianco is over 50 meters. The reservoir on the Bernina Pass is fed by various mountain streams and glacier water, while the Cavagliasch in particular leaves the lake. The whitish, somewhat milky-looking Lago Bianco gets its name (in German "White Lake") from the inflow of sand and glacier water. The Bernina Hospice (Ospizio Bernina) is located on the western shore of Lago Bianco, and the Rhaetian Railway's train line - the Bernina Express - also runs directly along the shore. The Bernina Pass road is also located on the western side, but not directly on the lake shore. In cold winters, the lake can freeze over and in some years the beautiful black ice forms.

Lake Bianco Reservoir on the Bernina Pass between the Valposchiavo and the uppermost side valley of the Engadine The reservoir at the Bernina Pass is fed with glacier milk (glacial water containing silt). This gives the lake its milky, whitish color. Lago Bianco is also a watershed; the water flows eastwards into the Black Sea and southwards into the Adriatic Sea. The famous Bernina Express of the Rhaetian Railway, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, winds its way along the bank.

The Morteratsch Glacier (Romansh Vadret da Morteratsch?/i or Glatscher dal Morteratsch?/i) is an Alpine glacier in the Bernina Group in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland. Like almost all Alpine glaciers, the Morteratsch Glacier is also affected by extensive shrinkage as a result of global warming; it shortened by around 2500 meters between 1900 and 2017. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morteratschgletscher
