Lago Bianco (literally "White Lake") is a reservoir at the Bernina pass in the Grisons, Switzerland. Its elevation is 2,234 m (7,329 ft); its surface area is 1.50 km2 (0.58 sq mi). The current reservoir was formed by the two dams Scala and Arlas on the site of two natural lakes (Lago Bianco and Lago della Scala).
