Famous for its Dolomite mountains, our featured region of the month, Trentino-Alto Adige, is also a great destination for lake lovers: there are about 300 of them, large and small, nestled in valleys, usually with incredibly beautiful backdrops of soaring mountains. You can often walk around their perimeter, enjoying the peacefulness and natural landscapes, rent a boat, perhaps have a swim, or you can use them as departing points for challenging hikes.
We have selected ten lakes in Trentino-Alto Adige we especially love. Let us know about other favorites we may have missed.
