Lake Tenno
Lago di Tenno
A small, forest-ringed emerald lake whose island appears and disappears with the water level, and one of the most photogenic mountain lakes on the northern shore of Lake Garda.
Lake Tenno formed more than 800 years ago when a landslide blocked a valley. It sits at about 570 m, and its water shines turquoise in the sun. When the water level is low, a small island emerges in the lake. There is a gravel beach with swimming in summer, and the lakeside trail takes about an hour. The nearby medieval stone village of Canale di Tenno is listed among Italy's most beautiful villages and can easily be visited on foot. It is about a 15-minute drive from Riva, and the lakeside parking lot charges in summer and often fills up.
