Lake Braies north shore

Highlight • Lake

Lake Braies has a unique location in the middle of the Braies Dolomites and in the northern part of the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park. The geological origin of the "Pearl of the Dolomite Lakes", as the emerald green lake is often called, is due to the creation of a dam through a mud flap.

Lake Braies also plays a role in the world of legends, because it was said that you could reach the underground realm of the Fanes by boat. The gateway to the underworld was at the southern end of the lake, where the imposing Seekofel (2,810 m) dominates the lake. It is not for nothing that this summit of the Braies Dolomites, coveted by mountaineers, bears the name "Sass dla Porta", meaning Torberg. Lake Braies is also the starting point for numerous mountain tours in the area and the Dolomite high-altitude trail no. 1 starts here. From the surrounding mountains you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the lake.

The only drawback: the lake is a very popular tourist destination. Visually beautiful, you won't find the tranquility of the mountains here.

View of Seekofel

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Seekofel (Italian: Croda del Becco) towers imposingly at 2,810 meters above Lake Braies and dominates the lake's panorama, especially on the north side. From the lakeshore, especially along the western shore and around the boat rentals, an iconic view awaits: the emerald-green water reflects the steep mountain and the surrounding Dolomites, a classic postcard motif. For mountain hikers, the Seekofel is also accessible via the Dolomites High Route No. 1. The ascent requires surefootedness and good fitness, but is rewarded with a breathtaking panorama: a deep-blue lake, striking Dolomite peaks such as the Three Peaks and the Marmolada, as well as the surrounding valleys. The view of the Seekofel is thus a scenic highlight of Lake Braies, both from the shore and from the summit.

Lake Braies / Pragser Wildsee

Highlight • Lake

Strolling along the shores of Lake Braies is truly wonderful! The high peaks and the coniferous forest perfectly frame the water basin, so much so as to give the idea of living in a dream.
