The splendid Lake Ledro
Lake Ledro is located at 650 meters above sea level and is considered one of the most beautiful and cleanest lakes in Trentino. The turquoise of the water invites you to cool off on hot summer days or to go fishing, sailing and other water sports.
Thanks to the 24 ° C reached during the summer by the waters, Lake Ledro is fantastic for practicing sports such as canoeing, windsurfing, sailing, swimming or fishing.
Furthermore, one of the 4 beaches of the lake is animal friendly, so you can spend wonderful days even in the company of 4-legged friends.
The perimeter of Lake Ledro measures almost 10 km and the walk around Lake Ledro is one of the most popular for its beauty, distance and altitude (the walk has a minimum elevation gain and runs out over the course of a couple of hours). Most of the route is on a dirt road on the edge of the lake apart from the stretch from Molina to Pur, along which the stretch is covered on the municipal road.
Near Mezzolago, cross the state road to avoid traffic and thus pass through the very characteristic center of Mezzolago. In fact, it is also one of the favorite routes for runners and for those who ride a bike.
What to do near Lake Ledro
The Lake Ledro, as already mentioned before, is also excellent for water sports. In Pieve there is the Sailing Club Lago di Ledro which, in addition to hosting international sailing regattas, organizes sailing courses for children between the ages of 8 and 15 in the course of the summer season. The A.S.D. Canoa - Kayak Storo - Ledro, based near the Besta Beach in Molina, organizes courses and individual lessons, as well as renting the equipment.
Another possibility, if desired, is to pass from one end of the Lake Ledro to the other by pedal boats, canoes or boats, these can be rented at one of the two Tarolli Rentals, one in Pieve and the other in Molina, to then return them to the shore opposite the lake.
Then, you can comfortably walk along the pedestrian and cycle-pedestrian path that runs along the lake.
Fishing lovers find an ideal environment, with a thriving fish fauna. Among the fish commonly caught in the lake we find trout, bleak, perch, tench, pike and some eel. To be able to fish in the lake you need a regular fishing permit.
There is also another activity, for cultural purposes, which consists in traveling in time to rediscover how the stilts were used and thus reliving the life of that period; all this can be discovered by visiting the Lake Ledro Pile-dwelling Museum, born in the 70s and renovated in 2019.

Part of the Pur beach has been delimited and dedicated to our 4-legged friends who will be able to enjoy the summer tan and take a nice bath with their owners. Furthermore, along the promenade around the lake, dispensers with bags for the collection of manure have been placed. When the dog dirties, cleaning is an act of civility.
