The Lake Dévero or Codelago is an artificial lake in the Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, located at 1,856 m above sea level within the Alpe Veglia and Alpe Devero Natural Park.
It appears today as a large lake basin surrounded by vast forests of larches and is a destination for numerous tourists both during the summer and in the winter period, when it is possible to cross the frozen lake equipped with snowshoes or skis. Several trekking routes are available, starting from Alpe Devero and Crampiolo, which skirt the lake along its entire perimeter.
The basin feeds the Devero hydroelectric plant.
