Lake Braies

A natural mirror

This natural lake formed at the foot of the high rock walls which dominate the valley in the heart of the Dolomites, and is an ideal backdrop for a walk or a break. The woods all around the lake are a maze of peaceful footpaths tempting visitors to explore its pristine natural environment and lakeside path. From cool spring days to the first snows, geography itself seems to celebrate this profound water-stone meeting place in every season.

Alpine stories and contemplation

The echoes from the peaks encircling the lake tell ancient stories, and the lake itself bears witness to legends and slow-paced life. Visitors to the lake soak-up the most authentic silence, follow a high-altitude meadow path or simply stop off to savour the peace and quiet. The valleys around the lake offer paths up to meadows and mountain dairies, scenarios which draw visitors into a slow-paced dialogue with nature.
