With picture-postcard perfection, high alpine meadows and dramatic rocky hikes, there’s a multitude of experiences in the Braies valley. Lago di Braies is just the tip of the gorgeous lake-centred iceberg.
Fed by alpine streams and underground springs, Lago di Braies lures travellers to its sparkling emerald waters. Surrounded by blonde shingle beaches and backed by sheer rocky cliffs, it’s a photographer’s dream location, an idyll in the Dolomites, and a pristine nature reserve.
Set against the massive north wall of Croda del Becco (Seekofel) – one of the giants of the Dolomites – Lake Braies is sometimes blue-green, sometimes crystal clear, sometimes milky and at all times enchanting.
Take a boat journey to magnetic beaches with mountains rising all around. Stroll past the quaint chapel on a slow amble through the forested path. Or hike the gruelling Rifugio Biella circuit to get up close to the domineering rock face constantly overlooking the lake.
But most importantly, leave the picture-postcard lake behind and experience the Braies Valley beyond the hum of tourist buses idling in the Lago di Braies car park.
Wander the beguiling Bagni di Braies Vecchia, explore the high alpine pastures of Prato Piazza and hike to one of the most complete and spectacular views of the Tre Cime towers. All just a stone’s throw from Lago di Braies.
