Lake trails in Northern Italy: a walk with a view
Easy walks on the most beautiful lakes in Trentino
If you look down from above, they look like rings set with a large blue sapphire in the centre. But actually, they are beautiful trails around the lakes in Trentino. Easy to walk along, sheltered by leafy branches and cool in spring and summer, thanks to the breeze that rises from the lake.
They are just perfect for a lake tour in Trentino, to get going again and breathe in the pure Alpine air. And then there are the lakes. Romantic and mesmerising. With mountains that seem to dive into those blue waters. A view that is a feast for the eyes and uplifts your spirit.
That’s why we would like to recommend these easy walks around the most beautiful lakes in Trentino. They are excursions that anyone can go on: they are neither too long nor too strenuous. Which one would you like to start with?
From Lake Tenno to Canale
This walks touches on two points of particular interest in Garda Trentino: Lake Tenno, one of the most pristine lakes in all of Italy, and the nearby medieval village of Canale di Tenno, where time seems to have stood still. This is a very easy trek without any serious elevation gain, a walk suited to everyone.

Lake Molveno, along the “most beautiful Lake in Italy”
For several consecutive years, this lake on the Paganella plateau was elected “the most beautiful and cleanest lake in Italy”, according to the classification drawn up by Legambiente (an Italian environmental protection association) and Touring Club Italiano. Taking a walk along its banks means walking amongst green meadows and woods, admiring both the lake and the Brenta Dolomites silhouetted against the sky.lake trails in Northern Italy

Lago di Serraia and Lago delle Piazze, from one lake to another
A nice flat walk on the banks of two lakes, on the Altopiano di Piné (plateau) in the heart of Trentino. After leaving your car in Baselga di Piné, walk along the left bank of the Lago di Serraia passing by a couple of tasty ice cream parlours, and then get to the Lago delle Piazze and walk around it. An easy walk that lasts about two hours.

Lake Garda, a stunning walk
A walk through tunnels burrowed through the rock, hairpin bends and an incredible view of Lake Garda: the old Ponale road is one of the most popular routes for cyclists and travellers from all over Europe. It has a very long history. It was first opened to cars in 1890 and until 1990 it was the only link between Riva del Garda and the Valle di Ledro. After closing for a period, since 2004 it has been reconverted into the walking and cycling route we can travel on today.
