Description Turn-by-turn directions How to get there

Great hike from Welschnofen | Nova Levante via the Stadl Alm farm with Dolomite panorama all the way to Lake Carezza.

The section between Welschnofen | Nova Levante and the Stadl Alm is a bit steep, but once you arrive at the Stadl Alm farm, you are rewarded with a breathtaking panorama of idyllic alpine meadows and the two Dolomite giants, Rosengarten | Catinaccio and Latemar. At the Stadl Alm farm, you can relax on the sunny terrace and enjoy delicious homemade specialties. The final destination of the route is Lake Carezza, considered one of the most magnificent alpine lakes, especially famous for its deep green water and the stunning mountain backdrop.
