Lake Molveno Holidays

Whether you’re exploring the shore, out on the water or up in the mountains, holidays to Lake Molveno in northern Italy are all about getting back to nature.

Views & activities

Deep blue water backed by the forests and jagged peaks of the UNESCO-protected Dolomites – it’s easy to see why Molveno is one of the most beautiful lakes in Italy. It’s in the Adamello-Brenta National Park too, so there’s walking, wildlife and views galore. Spend your days exploring the lakeshore or getting out in the water to swim, windsurf, canoe or paddleboard. And take the cable car to the Pradel Plateau to follow walking routes dotted with mountain huts or swing through the trees on a high ropes course.

Trip to the past

There's lots of history in Lake Molveno too. Wander around the Stenico and Thun castles to marvel at rooms filled with centuries-old art, furniture, weapons and tools. Cross a Roman bridge, and visit Napoleonic forts and WWI trenches. And learn about the people of the past at the Museum of Costumes and Traditions, which has exhibits on everything from agriculture to music.

Traditional village

At the north of the lake is the village its named after – and the only village in the area – Molveno. When you're not exploring the wider area, take a stroll around the cobbled streets and visit cafés and craft shops to browse local specialities like honey, cheese and wine.
