A unique experience once you make it to the top.

The lake has become particularly well known in recent years thanks to the Italian TV series “Un passo dal cielo” (“The mountain police – Close to heaven”). Social media such as Instagram and Facebook have contributed to a significant rush.

And it’s no wonder: Lake Braies is one of the most beautiful places in the Dolomites.

Access restriction in summer

Unfortunately, a large crowd also brings with it a considerable volume of traffic. Those responsible were therefore forced to take countermeasures. Please note that access to the lake is not unrestricted in the months of July and August.

It’s best to ask at reception how best to get to the lake.
