The scenery at Lago di Braies is among the most dramatic in the Dolomites. The contrast between the lake, forests, mountains, and sky is utterly stunning. The gentle loop trail makes it ideal for families. The hike doesn’t claw at the sky like its tougher, mountainous siblings, yet it will still leave you breathless. If you are keen on a more rugged adventure, consider including Lago di Braies as a destination on a more challenging route through the Fanes-Senes-Braies Nature Park.
