Fun Fact
Cheese washed up in the Spöl near Zernez
The cheese remains of the Uorsin family's fallen hay cart are washed up in the stream – a «found food» for Armon and his son Roman. The stream is actually called Spöl, rises at Lago di Livigno and flows into the Inn at the foot of the Ofen Pass near Zernez. Its water is used to produce electricity between Lago di Livigno and Ova Spin.
