Lago Santo – Trentino-Alto Adige. A quiet corner immersed in the woods of the Cembra Valley. Lake Santo is located at about 1,200 meters above sea level, in the municipality of Cembra-Lisignago, and is one of the most popular places in the Cembra Valley. Surrounded by dense forests and gentle mountains, it is perfect for those seeking silence, fresh air and relaxing landscapes. 🌲 An alpine lake with an intimate spirit: Lake Santo is of glacial origin and is surrounded by pines, larches and firs. Its waters, often cool even in summer, are loved for their clarity and for the tranquility they offer. Perfect for slow stops, picnics or a contemplative break. 👉 Tip: Bring a blanket and a book: some clearings along the shore offer pure and quiet relaxation. 🥾 Walks through the forest and natural viewpoints: Around the lake there is an easy circular path that is accessible and shaded. From here, excursions branch off to viewpoints over the valley or to other destinations such as Doss Paion. An ideal area for hikers of all levels. 👉 Tip: In autumn, the colours of the foliage transform the path into a natural art gallery. 🪵 Protected nature and landscapes to listen to: The environment around Lake Santo is protected for its biodiversity: amphibians, alpine birds and small mammals live. The entire area invites slow, respectful tourism, made up of observation and small conscious gestures. 👉 Tip: Walk in silence and with attentive eyes: every season tells different stories, among mosses and clearings. 🍽️ Simplicity of taste at high altitude: Near the lake there are refuges and refreshment points where you can taste dishes of Trentino cuisine: polenta, melted cheeses, mountain desserts and local infusions. A perfect place for a genuine and unhurried stop. 👉 Tip: Try the homemade strudel with apples from Val di Cembra and cinnamon: fragrant and fluffy. 🏡 Hospitality among vineyards and woods: To sleep you can choose between B&Bs in Cembra, farmhouses surrounded by nature or small family-run inns. The facilities are welcoming, well-kept and ideal for exploring the area's famous terraced vineyards as well. 👉 Tip: Choose a site with a view of the valley to enjoy the sunrise that illuminates the surrounding rows and forests. Lago Santo is a natural refuge where you can slow down, breathe deeply and be inspired by what is simple and true.
