General info: 

Lago di Carezza is an incredibly beautiful alpine lake just on the foot of the Dolomites mountains. The turquoise blue water is crystal clear and reflects the Dolomites towering behind the lake.

Unfortunately it is not allowed to swim in Lago di Carezza.

Getting there: 

The lake is about 25km from Bolzano. Just follow the road SS241 and you can´t miss it, it is right next to the road.
