Val Bregaglia

Most of the valley falls within the Swiss district of Maloja in the canton of the Grisons, the lower part within the Italian province of Sondrio.[2] Elektrizitätswerk der Stadt Zürich (EWZ) operates three hydroelectric power plants in the valley at Vicosoprano, Bondo and Castasegna.Located approximately 1000 m above the town and set back, the site is reachable by Albigna Bahn, an aerial tramway operated by EWZ.Some scholars, including E. Dubois and James S. Reid, asserts the valley takes its name from the Celtic Bergalei tribe that inhabited it, a name otherwise lost except for a mention on Tabula clesiana, a Roman plate.[4][5] 18th-century documents derived modern Lombard Bregaglia from Middle Latin Pregallia ("pre-Gaul, anterior Gaul").
