Lakes in winter
10 walks to discover the winter charm of lakes
Trentino is home to almost 300 lakes, small and large, located in the heart of the mountains. They are perfect for a winter walk, with or without snowshoes. You may have visited the lakes in the summer, but in the cold months they take on a whole new look, one that brings fairy tales to mind.
In this article, we have selected 10 lakes for 10 easy walks to do in winter. The lakes we selected are either in the proximity of inhabited centres or surrounded by woods and meadows, in places that have a lot to tell: like Valle dei Laghi, dotted with cellars, Val di Ledro, with its Ledro Land Art, an open-air art gallery to discover even in winter, the Natural Parks of Paneveggio and Adamello Brenta, biodiversity treasures, or Val di Cembra, where you can photograph terraced vineyards wrapped in snow.
It is impossible not to mention the lakes in the Garda area of Trentino, where the vegetation and temperatures have the atmosphere of the Mediterranean, and the Valsugana area, with its famous lakes and many Christmas markets all within striking distance. To cap it all, the lakes set among the woods of the Pinè Plateau offer a winter of sport and nature.
Enjoy your walks!
