Holidays to Lake Molveno are all about getting back to nature, whether you’re exploring the shore, are out on the water or exploring the mountains.
Natural beauty & activities galore
Deep blue water surrounded by the forests and jagged peaks of the UNESCO-protected Dolomites – it’s easy to see why Molveno is one of the most beautiful lakes in the country. And it’s in the Adamello-Brenta National Park too, so there’s walking, wildlife and views galore. Spend your days here lounging on the lakeshore or getting out on the water to swim, windsurf, canoe or paddleboard. If you’ve got a head for heights, catch the cable car to the Pradel Plateau to follow walking routes dotted with mountain huts or swing through the trees on a high ropes course.
Look to the past
The area’s brimming with history too. Travel back in time at the Stenico and Thun castles, where the rooms are filled with art, furniture, weapons and tools dating back hundreds of years. Get up close to a Roman bridge, Napoleonic forts and WWI trenches. And step into the lives of past locals at the Museum of Costumes and Traditions, where you can learn about everything from agriculture to music.
Authentic village
On the northern shore is the area’s only village – and the one that gave the lake its name – Molveno. Spend sunny afternoons there strolling around the cobbled streets and popping into cafés and craft shops selling local specialities like honey, cheese and wine.
