Lake Molveno

Embraced by the majestic Brenta Dolomites (UNESCO World Heritage Site), Lake Molveno is an alpine oasis that attracts nature lovers, adventurers, and families. Known for its pristine waters, breathtaking mountain views, and wide range of activities, Lake Molveno has repeatedly earned the prestigious title of “Most Beautiful Lake in Italy.” Below are some tips, highlights, and the perfect sightseeing plan for visiting Lake Molveno.

Getting to Lake Molveno

Lake Molveno is conveniently located about 40 km from the city of Trento. Here’s how to access it:

• By Car: Take the A22 Autostrada del Brennero. From the south, exit at Trento Nord and follow the signs for Fai della Paganella, Andalo, and Molveno (about 25 km). From the north, exit at San Michele all’Adige and follow the same signs.
• By Train: Take the “Trento-Malè” train from Trento to Mezzolombardo and change to the bus (line 611) to Molveno.
• By Bus: From Trento, take line 751 to Mezzocorona, then transfer to line 611 to Molveno (Lake Molveno).

Best Season to Visit

For the least crowds and best conditions, visit in late spring (May) or early fall (September). Summer is warmest and offers a wide range of outdoor activities but tends to be crowded. Winter transforms the area into a snowy wonderland, ideal for skiing and snowshoeing.

Things to Do at Lake Molveno

Outdoor Activities

Lake Molveno is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. Here are a few activities to try:

• Water Sports: Rent a kayak or canoe, try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), or enjoy a leisurely rowboat ride. The lake’s clear, calm waters are ideal for both beginners and experienced paddlers.
• Fishing: Lake Morveno is known for its rich aquatic life, making it a great spot to catch trout, arctic char, and perch. Be sure to check local regulations and obtain the necessary fishing licenses.
• Windsurfing: The “Ora del Garda” winds, which blow from March to October, create excellent conditions for windsurfing.

Hiking and Mountain Biking

For land-based activities, Lake Molveno serves as the gateway to some of the most scenic trails in the Dolomites:
