Lake Ledro

The little Alpine Lake Ledro is located at the northernmost point of Lake Garda, not far west of Riva del Garda, amid an unspoiled setting of forests and mountain peaks. Swimming, canoeing, sailing, windsurfing, and fishing are all popular activities in crystal-clear, almost iridescent blue-green waters. A 200-kilometer network of walking and hiking routes also round the picturesque lake and leads to Alpine heights.

Another attraction in Lake Ledro is for those who are interested in history. The pile buildings of a Bronze Age hamlet were exposed as the lake level dropped when a hydroelectric project was being built near Riva del Garda in 1929. In addition to the homes, a variety of intact daily objects were discovered. Lake Ledro is also one of the most beautiful lakes in Italy.

The settlement has been rebuilt, and Bronze Age relics have been used to decorate the homes. The most significant pile-dwelling site in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site is the Museo delle Palafitte di Ledro (Ledro Pile Dwellings Museum), located near Molina di Ledro. This location is well-liked by families because of its workshops and activities.
