Lake Molveno
Lago di Molveno
A brilliant blue alpine lake at the foot of the Brenta Dolomites, often rated one of Italy's most beautiful lakes. A lakeside loop trail and beach park make it a full-day destination.
Lake Molveno sits at about 820 meters. Its water shifts from emerald to gem blue, and the jagged peaks of the Brenta Dolomites rise behind it, making for stunning photos. The loop trail around the lake is about 12 km and mostly flat. At the north end, the town of Molveno has a lakeside park, a bathing area and a boat dock. You can take a cable car up to the Pradel plateau and continue on foot to mountain huts in the Brenta range. In summer the lakeside bathing area charges admission, and the water is quite cold. From Trento it is about 50 minutes by car, or you can take the Trentino intercity bus. It can be combined with visits to Andalo and Monte Paganella.
