Do you know Lake Tovel? I’m sure you do, it’s famous across Europe because it used to turn red, making it unique in the world! Today though its waters vary between blue and incredible shades of green. Without doubt, it is one of the places that you have to visit if you come to the Val di Non!
Let me tell you about perhaps the best known place in the Val di Non: Lake Tovel. This place has been the subject of many books and much research but above all it is a magical place! I come here at all times of the year and even though it gives me a different sensation every time, it always steals my heart!
My father saw it turn red every summer until 1964 but I can assure that even though it no longer has that ruby colour, it will still leave you open-mouthed! Coming here to this quiet place, looking up and seeing the Brenta Dolomites in front of me, reflected in these crystal-clear waters, is an experience that is hard to explain. I always bring my trusty camera with me and try to convey in my photos the wonder that I experience when I see it with my own eyes.
Why should you come here? Because you will truly feel like you are in the heart of the natural world, because the water is so clear that some people call it Trentino’s Caribbean and above all because, in autumn, the trees around the lake are a riot of colours that you cannot miss.
The street that reaches Lake Tovel is open!
During the summer season the various parking areas in the Val di Tovel are subject to parking fees. Buy your parkticket at the ticketoffice in Via Trento 109, Tuenno.

Sentiero delle Glare
A pinch of American charm can be found in this route that runs practically downhill between the car park of Lake Tovel and the "Al Capriolo" site. The trail shows an initial stretch through woods of fir and pine trees and then comes out into the open on the Glare stony ground, created by a large landslide that broke away from the walls above, finally ending beside a stream that placidly descends into the valley. If you drive up, you are bound to pass through the Glare area but you will not be able to fully appreciate the uniqueness of this part of the valley: a nice walk is much better.
