Easy circular hike to Lake Carezza with its vibrant colours and views of the Latemar, combined with fascinating insights into the Latemar forest.

This circular hike leads to Lake Carezza, one of the most famous alpine lakes in the Dolomites. Its vibrant colours and the reflection of the Latemar in the water make it a truly unique natural experience.

The route runs through a varied landscape of forests and meadows and includes a crossing over a suspension bridge. Near the visitor centre, a designed passageway offers insights into the history and mythology of the Latemar forest. A so-called “myth room” and a wooden xylophone highlight the special qualities of Latemar tonewood, valued in instrument making for its acoustic properties.

After the underpass, you reach a viewing platform with an unobstructed view of Lake Carezza. Information panels provide interesting facts about the lake, the surrounding forest and its wildlife.

The combination of dense woodland and open sections with views of the surrounding Dolomites accompanies this easy hike throughout.
