IMMERSED IN THE TRENTINO NATURE
Two steps away from the Dolomites
Relax and tranquility
Surrounded by greenery, Lake Levico is reminiscent of a Norwegian fjord due to its conformation, but with typically Italian water temperatures. There are two bathing establishments, as well as a large free beach, for those who love to experience the lake in all its spontaneity. And in fact, for greater protection of the biological balance on Lake Levico, from 1 May to 30 September, the navigation of boats with internal combustion engines is strictly prohibited. On the southern end of the lake is the “Canneto di Levico” biotope, and the “Canneto di San Cristoforo” biotope is also of particular environmental interest.
The nearby Lake Caldonazzo is the largest lake belonging entirely to Trentino: it measures 4,735 m. long, 1,870 m. wide and has an average depth of 27 m. On the lake you will find numerous free beaches suitable for children, equipped bathing establishments and four nautical clubs that organize regattas and competitions at national and international level. In this lake it is allowed to navigate with boats equipped with engines and with a power not exceeding 4 Hp.
Other lakes, minor but certainly no less enchanting, are the small lake of the Prese (municipality of Roncegno, 1,620 m), the lake of Canzolino (municipality of Pergine Vals., 520 m) and the lake of Madrano (municipality of Pergine Vals ., mt. 547).
