Lago Di Braies, Dolomites Italy

Lake Braies is part of the Fanes-Sennes-Braies nature park, in a side valley next to the Val Pusteria.

 

At an altitude of 1,496 m (4,908 ft), the 77-acre lake

Arguably one of Italy’s most beautiful lakes, Lago di Braies is a bright blue mountain lake in the heart of the Dolomites.

 

I’ve seen a lot of mountain lakes during my travels, but this one is pretty spectacular! It has become a popular Instagram photography spot.

 

You can hike around the lake taking in different views of the mountains above, or rent a row-boat and float on the surface of its deep blue-green water.
