What see
The Lake of Tramonti or Lake of Redona
Dam of Cà Selva
Dam of Cà Zul
- 1 Lake of Tramonti (lake of Redona). It is an artificial lake located in Val Tramontina between the municipalities of Tramonti di Sopra and Tramonti di Sotto formed following the construction in 1952 of a dam in Ponte Racli. The crowning is accessible, and is part of the access roadway between the state road 552 of Passo Rest, (now regional), the hamlets Chievolis, Inglagna, Posplata and the other two hydroelectric plants not far away that exploit the Meduna river course: the lake of Cà Selva and the lake of Cà Zul.
- The damming of the Meduna led to the abandonment of the old village of Movada, whose remains still emerge when the lake is dry.
- 2 Lake of Cà Selva. It is an artificial basin located between the municipalities of Frisanco and Tramonti di Sopra. The lake surface falls within the southeastern borders of the Natural park of the Friulian Dolomites.
- The arch dam on the Silisia stream is 111 m high and the works for its construction were completed in 1963. The name of the reservoir derives from the locality near Chievolis, a hamlet of Tramonti di Sopra, where the dam was built.
- The Cà Selva lake is often associated with two other nearby artificial lakes: the Cà Zul lake and the Redona lake (also known as the Tramonti lake), in Val Tramontina.
Access
- To reach the lake, take the SS 552 up to the Tramonti dam, cross its crown and continue towards Chievolis. Then continue along the asphalted road, indicated by the signs, which rises in altitude in a natural landscape. After several kilometers you arrive at the small village of Cà Selva and immediately meet the artificial dam of the lake. The dam is extremely suggestive and of great visual impact; the crowning is accessible.
- Shortly before the dam, the road leading to the furthest lake of Cà Zul starts.

- The Cà Zul lake is often associated with two other artificial lakes not far away: the Redona lake (also known as the Tramonti lake) and the Cà Selva lake. The lake, which is located in an isolated position, can be reached via paths or along the dirt road (where access is prohibited, as it is private property) which is located near the Cà Selva dam.
