Dalpe is a municipality in the Quinto district in the Leventina district in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland .

The mountain village of Dalpe is located on a plateau at the entrance of the Val Piumogna , a right side valley of the Valle Leventina . This includes the hamlet of Cornone , which forms the municipality with Dalpe. The municipality borders on Prato (Leventina) to the north, Faido to the east and south and Lavizzara to the west .

geography

Aerial photo (1954)

Dalpe is the southernmost municipality of the upper Leventina (Alta Leventina) and belongs to the Quinto district with the municipalities of Prato (Leventina) and Quinto. In 1866, Dalpe and Cornone separated from Prato.

Thanks to its location on the plateau, Dalpe is not burdened by through traffic through the Gotthard axis. The community became more and more depopulated in the course of the 20th century and today has 180 inhabitants. These are mostly commuters or work in the construction industry. Agriculture only employs a few families. Since the 1950s, numerous holiday homes have been built in Dalpe and especially in Cornone, so that the village can count up to 800-900 inhabitants over the summer months.

The Val Piumogna lies on the territory of the municipality . In the upper part of this valley is the Capanna Campo Tencia of the Swiss Alpine Club . The Piumogna flows through the valley, the source of which is above Lago di Morghirolo, a mountain lake at the upper end of the valley. South of Dalpe, the Piumogna forms the first impressive waterfall, which is also visible from the village.

history

In the 13th century, the mule track of the Gotthard Pass ran from Faido via Cornone to Prato. In 1866 today's local citizens' community was founded. Dalpe's original church dates from 1338, while Cornone's was built in the 15th century. The current church of St. Karl and St. Bernhard dates from 1661. The parish was established in 1640 when it was separated from that of Prato. In 1904 the road that can be used by cars was opened. In 1957 an improvement was carried out, which accelerated the construction of holiday homes. In 1940 a marble quarry was opened, but it was soon closed again due to the war. In 1998, the construction of a small hydroelectric power station began, which is fed by the Piumogna brook.
