"Lago di Braies, also known as the "Pearl of the Dolomites." This picturesque alpine lake is famous for its emerald waters, framed by towering mountains and dense forests. You can rent a traditional wooden rowboat and paddle across the calm waters for a peaceful and scenic experience. For those who prefer to stay on land, there’s an easy 1.5-hour hiking loop around the lake that offers stunning views from every angle. Early mornings are especially magical, with fewer crowds and the soft light creating a mirror-like reflection of the peaks on the water. Bring your camera, as Lago di Braies is one of the most photogenic spots in all of Italy."

"The natural beauty and scenic location of Lake Braies have made it one of the most photographed and iconic spots in the Dolomites.
However, due to its increasing popularity, it's important to respect environmental regulations and local rules to preserve the natural beauty of the area.
You can hike around the lake, rent a boat or just chill in the area. Depending on the season, you have to pay for parking and the regulations and prices change year by year."

"Also known as Lago di Braies, this is a MUST SEE on your trip to the Dolomites. While it is a bit more touristy than the rest, it is more easily accessible and absolutely stunning.
Unlike many other lakes in the Dolomites, such as Lago di Carezza, you are actually allowed to swim in Lago di Braies. The only thing, it is freezing, so be prepared!"
