1. Lake Carezza – our natural jewel
Shimmering from turquoise to emerald green, embraced by coniferous forests and just a six-minute drive from Moseralm Dolomiti Hideaway, Lake Carezza is one of our guests’ most popular excursion destinations. The peaks of the Latemar range reflected in the crystal-clear water make for a much-loved photo motif and have enchanted countless visitors. While Lake Carezza is not one of the classic swimming lakes in the Dolomites, the trail around the lake is beautiful in every season.
Distance: 20 minutes on foot
2. The Fiè Pond – a South Tyrolean favourite
The Fiè Pond is a popular swimming lake in the Dolomites and one of the best lakes in South Tyrol – perfect both for romantic time as a couple and for a fun-filled family day. Located at the foot of the Seiser Alm, it impresses with its pleasant water temperature, excellent water quality and magnificent views of the Sciliar massif and the Alpe di Siusi. With its large sunbathing lawn, bathing jetty and diving rocks, changing rooms and showers, as well as a kiosk and restaurant, the Fiè Pond is ideal for a carefree summer’s day.

3. Lake Braies – surreal beauty
Another breathtaking sight is Lake Braies, which is undoubtedly among the most famous lakes of the Dolomites in South Tyrol. Behind its almost tropical-looking water and the historic boathouse rise the rugged rocks of the Croda del Becco group. Lake Braies is located in the Upper Puster Valley, around a two-hour drive from Lake Carezza. Even so, the journey is well worth it: this oasis in the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park offers a spectacle you will not soon forget.
Travel time by car: 2 h
4. Lake Dobbiaco – idyll and tranquility
With a journey of around two hours, Lake Dobbiaco is a little more than around the corner, but a visit is truly worthwhile. This Dolomite lake near the Three Peaks Nature Park is, unlike Lake Braies, still somewhat of a hidden gem and considerably less crowded. Here you can enjoy nature in peace, strolling around the water sparkling in every shade of blue and green, while taking in the fantastic views of the Cristallo group. Benches and meadows around the lake invite you to linger undisturbed.

5. Lake Molveno – king of the Alpine lakes
For many, Lake Molveno in Trentino is the most beautiful bathing lake in the Alps. Nestled at the foot of the Brenta Dolomites, it offers a new perspective on what are often called the “most beautiful mountains in the world”. As one of the most impressive swimming lakes of the Dolomites, just a short distance from South Tyrol, it captivates with its stunning setting, intense turquoise-blue colour and well-maintained sunbathing areas. It has also been awarded several times as the cleanest lake in Italy. On site you will find wooden jetties, children’s areas, water sports facilities and everything you could wish for a perfect day by the water in the Dolomites.
