Lago di Braies, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy

4.5 (5.281 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #3 in Trentino-Alto Adige Bodies of Water

To be visited even with small childs

I've been there with family and small childs. I suggest families to book the parking (around 30€) to reach the closest parking to the lake. There are 4 different parking (100m, 1Km, 3Km) something like that. Be sure to book in advance the parking 100m from the lake. Once there (already paid 3 days before) you just show your ticket and enter the parking. Then I got my special trolley (for 2 childs with big wheels) and the adventure started. Nice lake, nice water, astonishing view inside the mountains. Very nice place for families. We rent a row wood boat and spend 1h into the lake (30€). Usually there is a long queue but it was quite fast. Then with the trolley we walking on a side of the lake (be sure with trolleys you go on right side facing the lake otherwise left side is with stairs and not easy for trolleys). You go through a church and the reach (with a viewing path) the other side of the lake where you can make picnic and play with kids

Reserve a parking spot and get there early
I’ve seen this site many times on Instagram and wanted to experience it for myself. Although the lake and the surrounding area is as beautiful as I had imagined it was very crowded already even though we got there early. If you are interested in visiting this lake I would recommend you book a parking spot before hand. There are quite a few websites which offer this service (parking is about 20€ for 24h) or you can take one of the shuttles. We booked a spot right in front of the lake’s hotel. This also guarantees that we were allowed to drive to the lake as the road will be closed from 10 am to 3 pm during the month of August. We got there at 10 but I would recommend getting there by maybe 8 if you really want to enjoy the views of the lake without the masses. By the time we left at 11:30 the parking lots were packed with more people coming in and long traffic jams on the road leading to the lake. Through the experience was nice if you are more of the individualist who likes piece and quiet this might not be for you. The only time I would got there again would perhaps be off season.
