An incredibly sized lake, with plenty to do for visitors of any age!
Measuring 5 km in length, and 1.87 km in width, Lago Di Caldonazzo is the largest lake in Trentino.
Many people think of Lake Garda as the largest, however Garda does not entirely belong to the Trentino region.
Lake Caldonazzo is known historically as the destination of water sports lovers, and has played an important role as a training ground for many top water sports athletes.
You can in fact practice water skiing on Caldonazzo, which is the only lake in the entire region where this is allowed.
We spent the afternoon trying our hand at sailing with the amazing guys at Archè, who are great with people of all levels and abilities!
The Lake
The water temperature in summer hovers at around 20-24 degrees, making it an ideal place for families and tourists to plan a day out.
You will find plenty of free beaches and play areas, so if you’re not so keen on the water sports a day of swimming and relaxing in nature is easy to come by.
If you fancy a walk there are plenty of routes available which you can check out via Komoot website. However to circle the whole lake will take roughly 4 hours, covering nearly 9.5 miles.
Overall Lago Di Caldonazzo is an awesome spot with plenty of options depending on your mood.
Surrounded by restaurants and pubs that liven up the summer nights, this is a place you can spend many hours/days relaxing and making memories amongst the mountains.
Certainly one of the best things to do in Valsugana!
