Lake Avio is a water basin of natural origin. In 1929 a dam was built to create a reservoir to feed the Temù hydroelectric plant, which is no longer active today. In the early 1980s, the Edolo hydroelectric plant was built, fed directly by the waters of Lake Avio.

Lago Benedetto

Highlight • Lake

Of glacial origin, over the centuries Lake Benedetto has been filled by alluvial material transported by the Avio stream. Eng. Benedetto, to whom the name of the lake is owed, devised a system to recreate the ancient reservoir by emptying the filling materials with a hydraulic system through a tunnel that connects the lake bed to the valley floor. A dam was later built, immediately upstream of Lake Avio.

September 22, 2024, Escursione al Rifugio Garibaldi (Monte Adamello) con partenza da Malga Caldea (Temù)

The tracking of the km of Koomot is not precise, in total the route is 19km total. The calculated difference in altitude is precise.

It took us 7 hours of walking to finish the tour. Just over 1000 meters of altitude difference, one of which breaking through the snow. Stop at the middle refuge. Always easy path. Very thirsty, but we took water directly from the sources. Spectacular landscapes that follow one another throughout the climb and descent
