Montiggl Lakes
Montiggler Seen / Laghi di Monticolo
Two lakes of different sizes in the Eppan forest, the favorite summer swimming spot of Bolzano residents.
The Montiggl Lakes consist of a large and a small lake, surrounded by dense mixed forest, with clear water and pleasant summer temperatures. The large lake has paid bathing areas, lawns, boat rentals and a restaurant. The small lake is quieter, and walking around it takes about 1 hour. Forest trails also connect the area with Lake Kaltern. The lakes are about 15 km from Bolzano, and parking is tight on summer weekends, so take the bus.
Opening hours
Open all day (bathing area open approx. Jun–Sep)
