A blue gem in the Alps
Nestled at the foot of the Brenta Dolomites, Lake Molveno stands out like a sapphire in the rough—except when blue hour adds an azure aura to the whole landscape. The teal-tinted alpine lake has multiple Blue Flag beaches, recognized for high standards of water quality and environmental management—making it a favorite for green-minded travelers. The town of Molveno, set upon the steep shore, offers a charming base for exploring nearby Adamello Brenta Natural Park—home to brown bears, ibexes, and golden eagles.
