The Chiese River at malga Breguzzo

The Chiese River at malga Breguzzo 20210730

 

The Chiese is a 160-Kilometers Italian river that is the principal emissary and sole emissary of the sub-alpine lake Lago d’Idro and is a left tributary of the Oglio.

Like its twin the Sarca, the river is born of the glaciers of the Parco Naturale Provinciale dell'Adamello-Brenta and its waters are intensively used for the production of hydroelectricity. Within the highly restricted area of its drainage basin above Lago d’Idro, there are at least four artificial lakes and three hydroelectric power stations. The lower course of the river in Lombardy is also used for this purpose.
