Lago di Braies
About
Lago di Braies – also known as Pragser Wildsee – is a sparkling glacial lake that sits high in the Dolomites, surrounded by rugged peaks and dense alpine flora. Its emerald‑green waters glitter under the sunny sky, offering striking reflections against the imposing Seekofel and the surrounding Dolomite range. Visitors can stroll along the entire shore, with the western bank’s flat path providing easy access for families and walkers, while the eastern side offers a more adventurous, steep route for photography enthusiasts. Because of its popularity, the lake requires a parking permit that can be booked in advance via www.pragsparking.com for €38, and early arrival is advised to secure a spot.
