Aviolo Lake is a lake in the Province of Brescia, Lombardy, Italy. At an elevation of 1930 m, its surface area is 6.65 ha (16.4 acres).
The lake is a popular hiking and climbing destination.[1] The Club Alpino Italiano maintains a mountain refuge hut at the lake, the Rifugio Sandro Occhi all'Aviolo.[2]
In 2022, 40 marmots were released at the lake in a relocation effort after their numbers grew too numerous in Livigno.[3]
Vintners have used the lake's high altitude and cool temperatures to age wines underwater.[4]
