Lake Idro

Lake Idro is located between Lake Garda and Lake Iseo and borders with the provinces of Trento and Brescia. This lake of glacial origin is a true natural gem in the North of Italy and particularly appreciated for its unique position amidst dense woods and beautiful mountains, as well as for its excellent water quality.

If you look for the lake on a geographic map you will notice its proximity to the Dolomites and be surprised by its apparently small dimensions. In reality, with a length of 12 km, a width of 2 km and a depth of 122 m it is actually not among the smallest of its kind.

The Chiese stream is both the inlet and emissary of the body of water. Thanks to its mild water temperatures in summer (around 24°C), it is possible to go for a swim until September. Water sport lovers can try different sports, such as swimming, kayaking, sailing and surfing. The lake is a natural habitat for a huge variety of different animal and plant species, such as the perch.

Also in 2024, Lake Idro has been awarded the prestigious Bandiera Blu eco-label, which is given for excellent water quality, environmental protection and sustainable services.
