Lago di Braies Tour – A Journey to the Pearl of the Dolomites! ️
Our journey begins in Ortisei, where you’ll board a comfortable sightseeing bus for a scenic drive through the stunning Eisacktal. We drive past the medieval town of Chiusa, and admire the hilltop Sabiona Monastery, one of South Tyrol’s oldest spiritual landmarks.
Continuing north, we go by Bressanone, the oldest town in Tyrol, known for its baroque cathedral, historic piazzas, and picturesque vineyards. As we drive through Val Pusteria, also called the “Green Valley” of the Dolomites, you'll see rolling meadows, alpine villages, and mountain peaks rising dramatically into the sky.
Then, we reach our main stop – Lago di Braies! Nestled at 1,496 metres, this glacial lake is one of the most photographed locations in the Dolomites, with its emerald waters mirroring the towering peaks of the Croda del Becco. You’ll have ample time to explore:

✨ Relax on the lakeshore, capturing the changing colours of the water throughout the day
✨ Rent a traditional wooden rowing boat and float across the tranquil waters
