A relaxed circular path around the frozen Lake Carezza, surrounded by the impressive peaks of the Dolomites, ideal for a rejuvenating break in the snowy nature.
The short circular trail leads directly around Lake Carezza (Karer See | Lago di Carezza), which is often frozen and covered in a blanket of snow during winter. Surrounded by the impressive peaks of the Latemar and Rosengarten | Catinaccio, it offers a picturesque view of the Dolomites. The prepared path is particularly suitable for a relaxed winter walk. The peaceful, snow-covered landscape and the frozen waters of the lake, with its sparkling ice crystals, create a special atmosphere, ideal for a short break in nature.
