Lake Toblino

Lake Toblino is situated at 245 m a.s.l., about 15 km west of Trento, at the end of the Valle del Sarca, which is famous for its numerous lakes and therefore also known as the "Valle dei Laghi" (valley of lakes). Lake Toblino formed thanks to various erosions and debris, transported into the valley by the Sarca stream. This natural treasure is embedded amidst green hills, dense woods, vineyards, cypress alleys and the rocks of the Piccolo Dain (971 m). Even though the water of Lake Toblino is not as transparent as it used to be in the past because of the melting water of the surrounding glaciers flowing into the lake, it is still one of the most romantic lakes of Trentino.

The mild climate around the lake creates the perfect conditions for Mediterranean vegetation, such as lemon trees, rosemary, bay trees and olive trees to thrive in an excellent environment. The surrounding protected area is an ideal natural habitat for many species of water birds and fish.

Castel Toblino stands on a small peninsula on the lake. The romantic fortress dates back to the 12th century and is one of the most stunning and remarkable castles of Trentino. In the 15th century, the monument was converted into a summer residence of prince bishop Madruzzo. Today Castel Toblino houses a renowned restaurant, accessible only to house guests. Enjoy a nice coffee break on the sunny terrace and admire the fantastic panoramic view on the lake!
