On its shores, you can see small typical settlements and stop at the local mountain huts, which offer an immersion in the traditions and flavors of South Tyrol. The area around the lake offers a variety of trails suitable for different levels of difficulty, which wind through forests and Alpine meadows.

A left tributary of the Valdurna stream, the Ghetrun stream can be followed here on a lovely mountain path. At this point you are in the municipality of Sarentino, a place to discover in Alto Adige.

Children's climbing path for climbing, playground, horses, sandals and good food. Perfect for a family outing. From the gondola it is about 45 minutes with easy ups and downs on well-developed and not exposed paths.
