Lake Carezza – Trentino-Alto Adige: intense colors, Dolomites and unspoiled nature. Lake Carezza, also known as Karersee, is located at an altitude of 1,520 meters in the Val d'Ega, at the foot of the Latemar massif. It is famous for its emerald green and turquoise waters and the perfect reflection of the mountains on the surface, making it one of the most photographed lakes in South Tyrol. 📍 What to see and what to expect: The lake is nestled in a dense fir forest and is entirely surrounded by an accessible and well-marked scenic walking path. It is forbidden to approach the water or bathe, to protect the delicate ecosystem, but the view is spectacular in any season. 👉 Tip: Visit the lake early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the busiest hours and enjoy the reflections without crowds. 🥾 How to get there and recommended routes: Lake Carezza can be reached by car (large paid parking), bus or bike from Val d'Ega. In addition to the walk around the lake, you can walk along forest paths that lead to viewpoints and alpine pastures. 👉 Tip: The "Latemar.Natura" themed trail starts from the lake, ideal for families and children curious to discover the local flora and fauna. 🍽️ Where to eat and buy local products: Nearby there are huts, typical restaurants and alpine huts where you can enjoy South Tyrolean dishes such as dumplings, bacon, polenta with melted cheese and homemade desserts. At the visitor center you will also find small shops with local products and handicrafts. 👉 Tip: Stop for lunch in an alpine hut just above Nova Levante and try the Kaiserschmarrn with blueberry jam. 🏡 Stays with a view of the Dolomites: The best areas to stop are Nova Levante, Carezza and Obereggen, with a variety of hotels, B&Bs and huts immersed in the alpine quiet. Many establishments offer rooms with a view of the Latemar and direct access to the hiking trails. 👉 Tip: If you love quiet atmospheres and nature, choose accommodation in the middle of the forest: in the morning you will be surrounded only by silence and fresh mountain air. Lake Carezza is one of the most evocative places in the Dolomites: perfect for a walk, a photo break or an excursion through forests and unique views.
