Every vacationer in South Tyrol has to visit Karersee, the most gorgeous Alpine mountain lake!

This small mountain lake is well-known for its soft, deep green waters and the exquisite view of the Rosengarten and Latemar mountain ranges. The lake is at its most gorgeous in the evening or early morning, when the Rosengarten-Latemar mountain ranges and the green of the Karerwald forest are reflected in its crystal clear water. This is a natural spectacle you won't want to miss!

Numerous South Tyrolean legends surround the lake and many authors and painters choose these themes for their tales or paintings.

Important info: 

• The lake (1,520 m) is 300 m long and 130 m wide and is located in the municipality of Welschnofen. 
• An underground spring from the Latemar mountain range feeds the lake. 
• The depth and size of the lake depends on weather and season. It has been measured at 22 m at its deepest. 
• In the winter, sometimes divers come to visit to do their diving under a thick layer of ice and do documentary films to capture the underwater play of colors. 
• The lake can be reached via Staatsstrasse 241 (Eggentalerstaatsstrasse – sometimes called Dolomitenstrasse).
