Lake Valvestino

The suggestive lake of Valvestino, with its enchanting inlets and imposing overhanging rocks, offers a spectacle of rare beauty. The winding road that runs through it is a true paradise for summer motorcyclists and offers, in the remaining months of the year, the possibility of peacefully enjoying the solitude of an extraordinary landscape.

Passing Lake Idro and heading towards Capovalle, the first traces of Lake Valvestino appear, captivating with the color of the water, intensely blue in summer and enveloping blue in winter. The shadows of the surrounding mountains create suggestive reflections, giving the landscape an atmosphere of extraordinary beauty.

This artificial basin, regulated by the imposing Ponte Cola dam on the Toscolano stream, offers scenery that evokes the Norwegian fjords. Lake Valvestino thus becomes a place of authentic natural beauty, far from the chaos of the city, ideal for those seeking unforgettable visual and sensorial experiences.

Lake Valvestino is an artificial lake located in the province of Brescia, Lombardy. It was formed by the construction of the Ponte Cola dam on the Toscolano stream in 1962 for the production of hydroelectric energy. It is almost entirely included in the municipality of Gargnano, with a small part pertaining to the municipality of Valvestino. It is fed by the Droanello stream and by the artificial tunnel that collects the waters of the San Michele stream in the municipality of Tremosine sul Garda.
