Delio Lake is a lake in the Province of Varese, Lombardy, Italy. At an elevation of 930 m, its surface area is about 30 ha (74 acres). It is a natural lake, but its shape has been altered by its use for energy production.[1] It serves as the upper reservoir for the pumped-storage Roncovalgrande Hydroelectric Plant.
In 2020 a hiker died after being caught in fast flowing water that escaped the banks of Lake Delio.[2][3]
