Lago di Carezza hike

Once you’ve parked, you are going to find a clearing or open space, on your left. Usually there’s a fence, but don’t be bothered by it: bypass the fence and walk along the path. You will see a wooden sign indicating the path for Carezza Lake. Start the trail there.

The steep part of the hike is just at the start. After the initial climb, the path evens out. As you walk through the forest you’ll be able to hear a river running beside you. At some point you can find a little trail that’ll go near the river if you want to see it up close.

After 1.6mi you will see a little tunnel that passes under the highway: go through it. Take the stairs to your right, and then go left right away.

After a few meters you’ll reach the edge of the water: Carezza Lake. With its magnificent blues and greens, it’s a sight to behold. It’s surrounded by spruce trees and dominated by the great Latemar Dolomite Mountains, which reflects in the crystalline water.

Take your time and appreciate the colours of the lake before continuing the path around the lake. At some point, you’ll be able to see the Catinaccio massif, another famous and stunning group of Dolomite Mountains. Follow the path until you arrive at the tunnel you saw before. Take the tunnel and go back, following the same path back to Nova Levante.
